Car Cover On A Trailer?
Discussion
Softbits for Sevens cut their storm cover (one with a long nose) to the exact specification (cage and body) of your car, so, they fit perfectly and have protective rubbers for corners etc.
I'm towing from here to Belgium tomorrow morning and confident the cover will not move.
The lead time may be a challenge.

We're going from Norfolk to west Cornwall, almost certainly overnight with a stop somewhere on the way. The cars are going on trailers towed by the removal trucks and the wife and I are travelling down seperately to arrive before them. I'm massively over-protective of the blimming cars and I'm worried about someone messing with them if they are parked up and on display. I'm even stressing about some hulking great removal bloke squeezing himself into the Caterham to drive it onto the trailer, and then grabbing hold of all the wrong bits to lever himself out. Gaaagh!

Easy enough to load the car yourself?Do the trailers have any sort of 'head board' and or how good are the mud flaps on the waggons. That would be more my concern.
I would happily park up my cars in a carpark over night, no more at risk on a trailer than on the tarmac I would suggest.

Good points. I told the wife that I intend to drive the cars onto the trailers and she says I'm just going to pDo the trailers have any sort of 'head board' and or how good are the mud flaps on the waggons. That would be more my concern.

s off the removal men. I'll play that one by ear when the time comes. I've not seen the trailers yet, so I guess I'll make a decision on the covers when they arrive.Dave 152bhp said:

In the past ive had MOT testers ask me to get in the car and drive it onto the ramps/rollers etc because they cant fit into them!s off the removal men. I'll play that one by ear when the time comes. I've not seen the trailers yet, so I guess I'll make a decision on the covers when they arrive.

Same!A few years ago I had to sit i the car and do the whole MOT process as the tester wouldn't have fitted in there. It was quite interesting!
It wasn't long after lockdown and I hadn't driven the car in a while, when he asked me to do the lights and hazards I was at a loss as I couldn't remember the switches!
