I have a older sno cap, tilt/lift up version. It lifts like the aluminum style enclosures.
I really like mine,no complaints. A friend of ours purchased a newer style one last summer and it is also a nice cover,"hers" opens in the front and rear rather than lifts. This style works much better for her. We both would purchase again.............any other questions ask away.

 

does the canvas last? they toold me 12 15yrs on canvas.
is it lighter than the aluminum style cover?
i was thinking of the tilt up front and roll up rear?
Is it worth the money?
I am looking for somthing a little lighter to pull but keep everything clean and dry?
how tall is the inside?

 

While I thnk the caps are pretty well made if you get it from a certain company west of Mpls St Paul area my experience with their service has not been good. They can custom make the height to what you want, they are indeed quite light and in the little time I've had mine the material seems very durable and easy to clean as well.

 

I used one for about (3) years on a 14' Sled Bed, until I bought an enclosed trailer.

Worked very well for us, just not as convenient as the enclosed with drop down doors etc....

I had two riding buddies that had them on their two place trailers for over 10 years. They were faded from sitting outside all the time, but in good working condition. Spray the rear door zippers with silicone at least one a year and all should be good.

 

Sorry to dig this up but saw an add for these and just wondering if anyone can update on one they've had for awhile? How's it holding up? Are we taking $1k for a standard 2 place 101" trailer? No one seems to have said any sort of price in my searches. The ole clamshell is needing some repair, wanting to see if this would even be in my budget.

was very close to getting one. they run right around $1k. I came across a 11' clamshell for 1400 that i couldn't pass up
