I accidentally ordered the nylon one but promtly returned it. I have one of the canvas ones with a built in underliner for the hood / windshield. I'm not too sure of the nomenclature off hand but I didn't get the one with the racing graphics or the full body one, I got the regular one. I think it's called the "intense" cover.TeamScream said:I have heard that the nylon covers are not intended for trailering. The canvas ones are intended for trailering. I have seen a buddy's nylon cover rip to all hell when we were driving to the UP one time. The nylon ones are nicer because they are lighter and easier to clean but canvas is more durable. I hope that helps a little.

I ordered this cover from Spanky's for around $120 shipped. Have yet to trailer with it, but seems to be a very nice, well-made cover. Has the felt lining on the inside of the cover to reduce scratching of the hood/windshield, reinforced areas for the trailering arms and where the grip ends go...also accommodates the 5 inch riser I have installed.2k2mxzolympic700 said:I have been using the Parts Unlimited "total cover" that covers the skis and suspension for the past 4 years. I have been very happy with the durability and performance. The best part is that they are $130.00 new. I have a Rev 440 and it fits like a glove![]()

Don't the tarps condense moisture and rust things out??? That signature pic is just wrong, funny thoughpapasled said:
If the cover goes around the skiis and susp is it hard to get around the tie down bars? Also, anybody got a pic of one? And how would it work with my mirrors? The doo covers have a velcroed pouch that can be pulled out for the mirrors.TeamScream670 said:I ordered this cover from Spanky's for around $120 shipped.

I have only had one cover that didn't tear on me..... Covers were such a PITA b/c of stopping to tighten the straps so the cover didn't flap in the wind..... As you said I just dont think the seams are stitched enough when they make them!!ncapster said:The past couple trailers I've had have been enclosed so I didn't buy a cover for my 04 until 06. I only used the thing twice and on the second time the thing ripped apart!!! I couldn't believe it, I've used covers in the past for years w/o any problems. The dealer just sent it in to a seamstress and had her re-stitch it. The problem is the cover is held together by single stitching when it should be double or triple stitched to handle the stresses of trailering. My question is has anybody else ran into the same issue and what did you do to fix the problem? What covers have people had good luck with on REVS? I'm now back to an open bed so I need to have a decent cover that will stay in one piece before the snow files which will hopefully be in about a month and a half![]()

I've owend just about every type of trailer out there. I think the "topper" trailers are a total PITA to deal with. The fully enclosed ones are nice but you pretty much need a 40-50K 3/4 ton turbo diesel to tow the darn things. That plus a paved place to park them otherwise they sink into the ground. They're also harder to hook up, you have to back up just perfect cuz you can't move them around by hand at all. So, if you got a diesel and a parking spot for the trailer they're great otherwise I think the best bet is going to the other extreme, an open bed 2 place tilt trailer. It's the inbetween ones that are a total hassle to deal with, removeable salt shields, jack knifing to unload, ramps, enclousres, etc... The nice part about the 2 place tilt trailers is that you can tow them with pretty much anything and loading and unloading is quick & easy. Most sleds have reverse now and even if they don't with those plastic ski glides all you have to do is simply lift the rear end and it will slide right off. The only downside is having to deal with covers again. That and of-course enclosed trailers provide better protection for the sleds and possible storage. But in the age of plastic skiis I think the protection thing is less of an issue. If you use a good cover and saltshield I would think the only parts you need to worry about are the suspension arms. Nothing that a quick wipe down with a damp cloth won't fix.04MXZ_X_600HO said:I have only had one cover that didn't tear on me.....
