Re: [VAL] Covers

["Forrest McClure" <forrest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's another issue to consider here -- a cover is an invitation to birds,
mice, squirrels and other vermin to get not just under it, but inside your
trailer. It makes is easy for them to do so. Climbing on cloth is a lot
easier than climbing on aluminum. My neighbor had a SOB trailer with a
rubber roof. The squirrels got under his cover and made a home of it and dug
up and through the rubber roof. $5,000 damage. Granted, Airstreams don't
have rubber roofs, but there is the refrigerator vent cover. Sometimes the
screening is in place up there, sometimes it's not, but if it isn't a heavy
enough gage they can dig or chew right through it and then they're inside
your Airstream. It won't be pretty after they've made it their home for the
winter.
