Default covers for trailering

Is there such a thing as a cover that can bee safely used while towing your bike in a open trailer?

Your're sure about that? While I've never used one, these do look like they would hold up.

It is the paint i am worried about. Just didn't want the extra expense of a covered trailer.
guess you have to pay to play.

Sure enough about it to not chance it on the paint. I’d be concerned wind would buffet it and with just a little dust or grit would do a number. But hey, I could be wrong...wouldn’t be the first time, so if you try that one, let us know how it goes.

A guy I know trailered his bike from somewhere up north to Daytona wrapped in the clear plastic stretch film they wrap pallets in. No damage and kept the salt off.

I had an uncovered bike trailer for a while and never really worried about the exposure. Being in the business I am in I am now looking again at a trailer to haul my bikes in. Recently bought a camper shell (Leonard) for my truck. Since then I get their email specials and just got one today 6 months same as cash. Going to see them in the morning for an enclosed that will work for me.
