Trailer Cover

Trailer Cover
I'm buying a new aluminum trailer. It has to set outside. The sun is so hard on things setting outside, I was thinking about covering it with a tarp or cover. My brother thinks that a tarp would be a bad idea. I was thinking maybe a RV cover would work? Does anyone cover there alum trailer, and are there any bad results?

If you're buying a new trailer consider a white one. It will not fade as quickly, and doesn't absorb as much heat as the darker colors. A one piece roof is also very desirable as there is less sealant necessary during manufacturing and reduces future maintenance.

Lonestar, it is aluminum, that is more my question, is it a mistake to cover aluminum? I had a metal one before, and I know how hard the sun is on it. I painted it 3 times in 10 years. I use Cal Car Covers on my PU, for the last 25 years, and works great, but that is paint, not bare aluminum.

My prior post was regarding trailers with factory finished aluminum siding. Sorry for any confusion and good luck with the new trailer!
