Just buy two so you won't need to remember to haul it back and forth between
trailer and truck.

Also, concerning the duct tape (any Red Green Fans out there in AirStream
Land?) It sould only be used on the skin in a real emergency. But there's also
different kinds of duct tape. The cheap stuff and then there's the REAL stuff
that will hold just about anything down. That's usually found in "Pro Shops"
or some industrial suppy places like Grainger.
