Nope, not too many Airstreams in NZ, Toastie, a small handfull at best, I would think. Which is good in someways but not so good in others. Thank goodness for all the talent on these forums is all I can say! Hey, I realise this is'nt really the right dept for this and it has probably being thrashed to bits anyway but Toasties reply highlighted it to me. I am no longer covering my trailer with those cheap tarps, now that I have the sides to my port closed in more, it is not recommended and I only did it under duress for a very short time as the trailer needed immediate protection from nearby rainsplash that was enough to bead on the roof but not enough to run off, developing into even more corrosion on the roof than was originally there, which set the polish back a bit. Back a bit on a Sovereign can be a "Big Bit" Even though it was only covered a short while, the tarp itself did have a negative effect on the trailer polish wise. I guess a different type of tarp may have been more forgiving.

More learning about Airstreams...
