Tarp - Custom
I had this made locally, and couldn’t be happier with it. It’s made out of heavy duty black vinyl to match the Jeep top. It secures to the trailer using a long length of bungee that runs the perimeter of the tarp, inside a tube sewn inside the outer edge. The tube has cutouts that let the bungee out of grab the tarp hooks on the trailer.
No grommets to scratch the paint, no snaps to pull out, and hopefully this setup will allow enough play in the vinyl to accommodate how it grows and shrinks with different temperatures.

Cover looks great. A tube with a bungy inside and no grommets is a good idea too. I have found that grommets can pull out when pressure is on them. Have a great day.

Jim - there’s a guy here locally who does upholstery work out of the garage behind his house in kind of a “under the radar” fashion…

I paid $120.00. We’re going camping all next week - that’ll be the first real use of the tarp. We’ll see how it goes...

MIKE: I DON’T THINK I COULD HAVE A TARP LIKE YOURS MADE FOR $120.00 IN THE BOSTON AREA. YOU SHOULD MARKET THEM. I WOULD CONSIDER BUYING ONE.

Ken has a good point. Market them and put me down for an order.
