One more practical test on Tesla X as tow vehicle. Note, do not confuse great MPG with practical distance limit when tow. Even for this tiny 2,000 pound trailer. Unless you have a 150 ml trip in mind, it is not fun.

John, thanks for useful links on gel coat maintenance. No one would argue with you on carport / barn storage. In fact no one even asks that question. Yes, being close to big city does take a toll in restrictions on property structures. As of tires, I am not sold on covers. Yes having them is a good thing. But generally the car tires last for 8-10 yrs no problem without any covers. So it may be an overkill if you have so many things to do. Damages from the road will likely kill them, and you DOT ask to change tires every 10 yr anyway. 🙂 Can you post picture on your setup for keeping trailer off the ground?

Wow, so much useful feedback on covers! The chores of putting and cleaning covers are pushing me to the direction of applying "Meguiar's Ultimate Wash & Wax" once a year as part of Spring clean up instead of covering. Having a cap of DampRid inside and keep all windows closed. The fiberglass should be strong enough for elements (life time warranty). Would be nice to hear a fact based opinion from manufacturer. Base on my experience of keeping the car in long storage, two things are important: - wheels should not bear the weight in long term storage or need to be rolled every few weeks and pressure maintaned. - the battery needs to be fully charged and disconnected (is there a switch for that in Oliver). Keeping 120V/solar power is alternative for that. The cold weather does not hurt acid batteries, storing undercharged keels it.

Frank, Thank you for sharing, very helpful. I have noticed a hydraulic jack, do you lift trailer up for storage and keep it on stands of some sort?

Those who lives in north states and store Oliver outside in winter. 1) What cover do you use if any? 2) How do you protect from humidity inside of the trailer? Thank you.
