If you trailer it open and put a cover on it, you will be very sorry. The wind will make the cover rub no matter how soft it is. The paint will be swirled. You are better off just towing without a cover. ---

Any movement in the cover will screw it up. My friend brought some equipment from NJ to VA last week. Was tightly shrinked wrapped. Wind destroyed it in the first 50 miles. ---

> [@newman](#): > > hmm… maybe i will go sans cover… that means i will have to wash the shit out of it tho… > > NOONE has an enclosed trailer? I drove my 99 WS6 T/A from Washington, DC to Buffalo 450 miles on January 2nd, 2001. So much snow and ice that I had to keep opening the hood and unpack the snow around the motor. The car looked like hell when I got here. Washed it up and hosed the under carraige. No problems. My case was much worse than what you’ll go through. At least it will be up on a trailer. ---

even a cover with tape is a bad idea. no cover, or fully enclosed. ---

Dont know WHY you feel the need for fully enclosed. I’ve trailed lots of cars on my open 19ft hauler and not had any problems. So what, you need to wash the car, you should probably be doing things like washing it, changing fluids, doing tire pressures anyway before you put it away for the winter. A car cover is a very very very stupid idea. Even after 500 miles anything that can rub, will, and will destroy whatever it’s rubbing against. Anyway, for $150 I think you’re going to be hard pressed to find someone willing to let you borrow their rig, or willing to drive and pick it up for you. Professional companies are no where near that cheap, and unless you have a close friend with some sort of rig I dont see you getting anyone else to do it that cheaply. ---

> [@MPD47](#): > > Professional companies are no where near that cheap, and unless you have a close friend with some sort of rig I dont see you getting anyone else to do it that cheaply. no shit. hence the reason why i am posting here and not calling “professional companies” i want an enclosed trailer because it is in a showroom right now, perfectly clean. I don’t have a hose at my apartment, so i have no good way to get it really clean. There is a carwash nextdoor, but no underbody. Get it? ---

you are going to be way better off w/ no cover, it’ll be behind the truck, it won’t get super nasty anyway. I’m not sure how you think the underbody is going to get trashed while it’s ona trailer really. ---
