Our trailer was a total cost of 28k out the door. I don't drop cash like that too often so we wanted to protect out investment. Just for kicks I checked on what a set of graphics would cost. $1000.00 plus shipping. Since the dang graphics are what go to heck and make the rig look funky, the possibility of fiberglass de-lamination and the rubber roof, I think the cover is well worth the investment. Yup it's a pain to put on..........and my trailer is short. But I feel real good after it's on while the sun is beating down on the rig. I still may get a set of graphics for the future, not sure if they have a shelf life expectancy.
