The best brand of trailer cover we carry is Adco, the All-Climate Cover or the SFS AquaShed Cover in particular. These covers will both do an excellent job of keeping your trailer protected from the elements. They have polypropylene sides for maximum breathability and reduced mold/mildew. They also have reinforced corners to reduces tearing and a front/rear cinching system to reduce billowing.

The main difference between the All-Climate and SFS AquaShed is that the All-Climate has a tyvek top which will be better suited for snow and harsh uv rays. It also has a longer warranty, 3 years compared to the 2 years of the SFS AquaShed. As long as your trailer does not exceed 294" long (excluding tongue) x 106" wide x 120" tall (excluding ground clearance) then you can use part # 290-34872 for the All-Climate or part # 290-52272 for the SFS AquaShed.

Looking for a cover for my 8.5 x20 enclosed cargo trailer v- nose

The Adco SFS AquaShed # 290-52240 would work really well for your 20 foot long trailer. Its integrated cinch ropes will let you tighten up any slack over the V-nose and the triple layer top panel beads any water on contact.

What's up Gary!? You're going to want the etrailer RV Cover for Travel Trailers up to 22' Long - Gray # e24VV. It has the best chance against the Florida weather. Just make sure you cover any sharp corners with some rubber or a cut up pool noodle to protect the fabric from rips and tears.
