As for the OP, cover the side that faces the public with flat screen TVs and feed them with a camera on the other side of the trailer pointed at what's behind the trailer. Instant cloak.

Can't believe this thread exists. My family totally made fun of me trying to camo my trailer (although, I did make a very lame attempt by buying a brown tarp and spray painting it with green spots). I don't have a photo, but we have tons of room to store the trailer. But the ground is soft/wet so I need to install a french drain to dry it out to be able to move it behind the fence. I had searched camo tarps, but did not try ebay, so will look there for the one JayG has. No HOA issues for us unless I were to park it on the street.

I just don't want to look at a big gray box in my driveway. Also thinking about getting some stockade fencing and adding pipes to the bottom so they can go into sleeves in the ground.
I really figured someone here had some awesome solution. Is RL going to fail me for once?

As Rick suggested I need to take a picture. Heading out to LRP tomorrow to see how Pirellis react at 32 degrees!

Got the $35 camo tarp.
I'm actually going to park it farther back - there's an old graded road it is sitting on. I had to dig two drainage ditches (you can see one that is a gray line in front of the trailer and to the right - gray from rocks), and am getting a big load of rocks this week to spread over the entire area. After that is done, it should be solid enough to move the trailer with the mower. I got it where it is with the mower, but soil is far too wet to do that routinely.
Thanks Jayg!

Whoops. This one should work.
This is what I am working with. I am going to get it further back into the corner - until recently there were mounds of snow there!

It's always fun when people start asking me about the track stickers on the back of my truck - "that one's Sebring, that's Lime Rock, that Summit Point, and that's er umm Dicktona."
