Protect Your Investment This Fall: Why a Trailer Cover Is Essential
Autumn brings beauty and exposure. Rain, leaf debris, tree sap, UV, early frost, and swirling dust can weather your trailer fast if it’s parked outdoors or under an open carport. Even in the garage, a cover helps keep grime off and prevents accidental scuffs while you’re moving bikes and gear.
Top reasons to use a Kendon Trailer Cover:
- Weather defense: Shields from rain, moisture, and early-season snow to help prevent corrosion.
- Debris barrier: Keeps leaves, needles, sap, and dust off wheel hubs, wiring, and deck surfaces.
- UV protection: Reduces sun fade and premature aging of finishes, tires, and plastics.
- Clean storage: When your trailer is stood up, a fitted cover keeps it clean and ready for the next ride.
- Resale value: A well-protected trailer looks better for years and maintains higher resale.
What to look for:
- Model‑specific fit: A tailored cover that accommodates the Stand‑Up profile and tie-down points.
- Durable fabric: Water‑resistant or waterproof material with UV inhibitors and reinforced seams.
- Securement: Integrated straps or elastic hems to stay put in wind and while standing upright.
- Easy on/off: Quick access so covering doesn’t feel like a chore.
