Default Cover for Open Trailer?

My open Trailex has a tire rack and is stored outdoors.
Any good recommendations for a cover?

Don't worry about it. Mine was stored outdoors for years, and just got a good wash in the spring. That's one of the beautiful things about the trailexes.

My aluminum Sooner open (very similar to a Featherlite) has been outside for nearly 20 years. Doing just fine and I don't wash it. I don't want it to look "too good" as I'd rather it not have the attention.

It's good to know yours held up, thanks for the info.

Mine has been outdoors since 2014. My concern was bc
that I've noticed a few smudges of brown around the tie-down rings and the white cylindrical bits underneath the trailer.

These come off easily with a good hard pressure wash, but do look a tad grungy, and made me worried about future rust.

Again, good to know. Also the bit about grunginess being an asset.
