Ben30R Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Hi guys, Looking for a car cover that I can use while my car is on the trailer. Ideally would have several fasteners so it doesn't blow off etc. Just wondered if anyone has any suggestions etc? Ben Quote
Terry Everall Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Don't do it! A flapping cover only damages the paintwork A tonneau cover works well to cover the cockpit 1 Quote
Ben30R Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Good point will look into them can you get a full cover to cover passenger and driver side? Quote
pete g Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 it can be done I have one . but it has to be perfect fit with good straps. I got mind off here secondhand don't know who made it. but like terry said a bad one will do more damage Quote

clansman Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 A tonneau cover works well to cover the cockpit Well it didn't work for me...............car had gold fish in it by the time I got it off the trailer and in the garage............. I think Softbitsforsevens do a trailer cover which might do the trick Quote
Terry Everall Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 A tonneau can be used on trailer as well as in bad weather or when out on a run so is dual purpose and better value for money Quote

Mark (smokey mow) Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Am I correct in saying that you can't fit one with a rollcage? If so I'm back to square one.there's no reason why they wouldn't work with a cage.For all the above reasons I use a tonneau on my car when towing. Quote
Barry Ashcroft Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Anyone tried this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WIDE-Body-Caterham-Westfield-Car-Cover-Tie-Down-Trailer-Net-Bungee-Cord-/111470206413?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19f4245dcd I looked very hard at this but in the end emptied the bank and bought a covered tailer. I would buy one if I had an open trailer. Quote
Ben30R Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Or maybe something like this http://www.softbitsshop.co.uk/academy-trailering-shower-cap-798-p.asp 1 Quote
B.RAD Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Did you manage to sort anything Ben? Now needing something for trailer'ing myself... Quote
wackydo Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Anyone tried this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WIDE-Body-Caterham-Westfield-Car-Cover-Tie-Down-Trailer-Net-Bungee-Cord-/111470206413?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19f4245dcd Yes, I could be interested in one of these too. Not sure whether to go for for the £137 or £165 one. Difficult to tell from the photos and descriptions which one would be best. Quote
Ben30R Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 Sorry guys I haven't found a solution yet. Although I did speak to a chap with a mk indy with the cover above. who said it was good but first few times had to keep checking it as was "flapping around abit" but worked a treat. Quote
