Tarping a pop-up

This might be a stupid question, but as a new convert from tenting into a pop-up trailer, do you guys tarp your pop-ups? How do you do it? What size tarp are you using? Teach me your ways.

    That's my dream. Being in Ontario our weather is nuts. One whole week without rain? Ha! You get used to tarping everything because of how often the freak t-showers happen.
  • Never use a trap when camping but we were lucky and always had good weather on our camp outs.:)
  • Not talking about when storing, but instead about when you're using it? Like protecting it when it's expanded.

    Found one example online: link
  • If you are talking about using a tarp when storing your pop-up, when yes. We always put a trap over our pop-up when storing the trailer. Using a trap helps cut down on sun rot, water damage and fading. The canvas on our pop-up (which I gave to my son) is over ten years old and still in great shape.
    Have fun camping.
