> I have a 31' Streamline Imperial Count with all windows having an aluminum
> storm/damage cover over each that latches and locks. The slick smooth
> aluminum is sort of like a large pan, having about a two inch lip on all
> sides with no seams or visible corner welds. They each have a very slight
> almost unnoticeable compound curve to the center which seems to make them
> very rigid. Looks like a factory stamp from a one piece sheet. They use a
> concealed full length ss hinge on the top, slide-click polished aluminum
> bars on each side that prop up lift at various levels like an awning. They
> shade each window, total rain protection, totally block all sun
> deterioration, and completely secure and cover all windows during towing.
> They appear to have been high polished at one time. The thickness is about
> that of the trailer skin. They use two locking hasps per window at the
> bottom. The hasps are unusually light weight, small, look stainless, and are
> very strong. I have never seen another like this. Tom Patterson has seen the
> trailer at my house. The trailer spent it's life in Florida Keys.

> Maybe you could have similar custom made fit for your trailer too. No rock
> or vandalisim would pierce without serious deliberate actions such as a gun
> shot or pry-damage. The aluminum would dent, but maybe the vandals fun of
> not being able to watch his damage would be a deterent. They would provide
> the ultimate in camping security at night. They are very light. They could
> be polished to a brilliant shine if desired. They could be slight center
> stressed with a large or small scripted A S for strength, uniqueness, and
> style instead of the compound to center curve. You would need to find
> someone who does pressings, would use an adjustable pressing mold/jig, and
> fabricate a thin A S scripting veryt thin letters sheet. These could also be
> very less-expensive run thru a simple metal brake, and the folded corners
> short-arc welded for a practically seamless corner. The rigidity could be
> accomplished by X slight breaking the entire sheet, before brake-folding the
> corners.
