343.0. "Winter Storage" by PIXEL::DANI () Mon Jul 27 1987 12:56

    
    There may be a better place to post this but I thought I'd give
    it a try here first...
    
    My truck and trailer are not used in the winter.  So far I managed
    to find a place to garage the truck each year which only peaks out
    at the white stuff for an inspection in February.  I'd like both
    to be out of the elements this year.
    
    Does anyone know of any place with storage or an out building that
    would work out?   I live in the Nashua, N.H. area and don't feel
    that the storage needs to be very close, nor that both need to be
    at the same place.
    
    Covering them up outside is not such a good idea cause it holds
    in dampness.
    
    Any suggestions welcome.

343.1	special covers	TLE::DAVIDSON		`Mon Jul 27 1987 13:21`	16
	Hi Dani! There are covers available which allow moisture to evaporate. There are now two covered cars in our yard (one's my brothers) and neighter have had any problems. One had to be custom made, but it only took 6 weeks to get it. These cars are covered whenever parked outside to protect them from pine sap etc. If/when I get a trailer, it too will get one of these covers. The covers were order out of an auto place on Main Street Nashua and we've noticed adds in Horse-related periodicals for trailer covers of the same material. -Caroline

	Thanks Caroline, Can you tell me the name of the place and perhaps an approxomate cost for on of the covers? Thanks again, Dani

343.4	Cover Material	TLE::DAVIDSON		`Tue Jul 28 1987 11:21`	20
	I didn't have time to search the periodicals, but the material is called: Evolution-3 It is a orange-yellow fiberous material impervious to ultra-violet light, it breaths and stretches (mental picture of a covered car taking a midwinter stretch and a sigh of relief?? :-)) These covers are not cheaply made, nor are they inexpensive. Eg. RX-7 cover was $110 and a Nova cover was $120. The Nova dwarfs the RX-7, but the cover for the RX-7 was custom. Both covers were purchased last fall from D&D Sport Shop in Nashua across from the Honda bike dealership on Main Street. Good Luck!
