FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the trailer cover?
The trailer cover measures 4 feet by 3 feet (approximately 122cm x 91cm).
Is the elastic cord adjustable or replaceable?
The elastic cord is included for fixing the sheet. While not explicitly adjustable, it can be replaced with a longer or shorter cord if needed for your specific trailer setup.
Can this cover be used in heavy rain?
Yes, the cover is made of strong, waterproof PVC material designed to protect your cargo from rain.
How do I clean the trailer cover?
You can clean the cover with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
Will this cover fit a trailer larger than 4' x 3'?
The cover is designed for trailers up to 4' x 3'. For larger trailers, it may not provide adequate coverage or a secure fit.
What is the purpose of the 3" drop?
The standard 3" drop is designed to reduce wind resistance when towing, which can potentially improve fuel consumption.
How many eyelets are on the cover?
The cover features integral eyelets around the hem to help secure the sheet over your trailer.
Troubleshooting
Cover does not fit snugly
Ensure you are using all available eyelets and securing the elastic cord tightly to the trailer's retaining hooks. If the trailer is significantly smaller than 4'x3', some slack may be unavoidable. Consider adding additional bungee cords for a tighter fit if needed.
Elastic cord seems too short
Check if the cord is fully extended and properly attached to the furthest possible retaining hooks. If still too short for your specific trailer setup, you may need to purchase a longer elastic cord or use alternative securing methods like bungee straps.
Water pooling on the cover
Ensure the cover is installed with the 'drop' side facing downwards around the trailer edges. Minor pooling can occur, but significant water accumulation suggests the cover may be too loose or installed incorrectly.
Material shows signs of cracking after cold weather
PVC can become less flexible in extreme cold. Handle the cover gently when cold and allow it to warm up indoors before attempting to fold or install it. If cracking persists, it may indicate material fatigue, and replacement might be necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides excellent protection against weather elements.
- Durable construction ensures longevity.
- Secure fastening system prevents movement during transit.
- Reduces wind resistance for potentially better fuel efficiency.
- Easy to attach with included elastic cord.
Cons
- May not fit all trailer sizes perfectly without some adjustment.
- Elastic cord length might be insufficient for some trailer hook placements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unfold the trailer cover and identify the top side.
- Place the cover over your trailer, ensuring the 3" drop is positioned correctly around the edges.
- Utilize the integral eyelets around the hem. Thread the included elastic cord through these eyelets and attach them to your trailer's retaining hooks.
- Ensure all eyelets are secured and the cover is taut, with no major slack.
Compatibility:
This cover is designed for trailers with dimensions up to 4' x 3' (122cm x 91cm). While the shaped corners and elastic cord offer some flexibility, it is best suited for trailers within or slightly smaller than these dimensions. It is compatible with trailers featuring standard retaining hooks for securing covers.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the cover with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the PVC material.
- Drying: Allow the cover to air dry completely before storing to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store the cover in a dry place when not in use. Avoid folding it while wet or dirty.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the elastic cord and eyelets for wear and tear. Replace the cord if it shows signs of degradation.
