Well, that time of year is descending upon us.  It's getting cold at night and the season is drawing to a close.  What are y'all using to cover your trailers for the winter?  I've got a used pool cover that I'm considering cleaning and using for this year, but I was wondering if anybody has something they really like and recommend.

We will use our trailer pretty much all winter (we camped New Years last year) so we don't bother with covering.

Thanks to those who responded.  I'm going to cover the trailer for the winter, if for no other reason than to keep the debris from the trees from accumulating on it.  I live in a stand of tall pines.  I used to think I liked pine trees, but after years and years of chasing their spewings off of my cars and out of my pool, I now know that I only like pine trees when they're not on top of me or when I need lumber.  I'm going to go with the tarp for this winter, but may try a little trick to let air get under it.  You know those silly noodles that you see old people bouncing around on in Florida pools?  They'll make great spacers to let a little air get up under the sides. 

Also, I think the tarp will make it easier to get snow buildup off the roof if we a 10 foot winter this year.  It doesn't happen every year, but we've had many in my lifetime.  I haven't heard anybody mention anything about this sort of thing yet, but in looking at the roof of the trailer I don't suspect it's good for much weight.  The southerners here couldn't care, I know, but the northerners and especially Candians don't think about it?  I have a steel roofed shed that shows the effects of too much wet snow and a long life under tall pines.  I don't want my Classic to look like it.
