We are going to store our 29' Jay Feather Lt. trailer in a secure park in Jalisco. This is in the mountains so there will be no salt problems.
We would like to cover the trailer for the summer months and bought a heavy duty used billboard sign. It is 23' X 40'. It weighs a lot. We wonder if there is an easy way to support the tarp and lifting the tarp into position.
If there is an answer I know it will be here with RV.net.

Earlier I asked for assistance looking for a company in Guadalajara who could fix our roof after a tree fell on it. Thanks to all who gave advice. The roof is fixed and our trailer is back on our lot.

  • Here is what I do with my cover. Lay it out. Fold each side to the middle and then again. Put a strap around each end an the middle to keep it from unfolding while lifting. Tie a rope to the end strap. Using this method I am able to climb up with just the rope and then pull the end up. I pull up a little at a time and them move some forward and pull up some more. Once on the roof, you can then push out each side. I can do this by myself. I also use the ladder as a guide, when punning up the cover.
