Question:
Hello, I have a 18 by 8 food trailer with a exhaust blower on top approximately 11ft 6 in at the highest point. We live in Michigan and need a cover for the winter months.

Hey Jessica,
The covers we offer aren't really designed for the shape of an enclosed trailer so there will be some slack to secure to fit the cover to the body of your trailer. With an 18' length you could go with the etrailer RV Cover for Travel Trailers # e84VV, which fits trailers 18' - 20' in length. The exhaust blower might give you some issues though since these covers are only 8.6' tall. You would want to measure the height and subtract the distance from the ground to the bottom of the trailer body to confirm how big of a difference you'd have. You could still secure the cover with the straps that run under the body have a few inches exposed to make it work though.
These covers are rated for use in harsh climates like you have in Michigan and come with a few extras that most don't. Gutter spout covers with Velcro straps to secure them to the gutter are included to help prevent your spouts from catching the cover and tearing it in windy conditions. There's two patch kits included and a storage bag to load everything into when you're ready to take your trailer back out on the road.
