Suggestions for Property storage

Good Day,
My Airstream is being polished and when I bring it home I would like to protect the shine from tree sap and bird poop. I park my trailer in front of the house. I do not want to store my trailer at a unit because I work on my trailer and spend weekends "camping" in it with my kids. I perfer not to setup a plastic / brown car port to save the beauty of the neighbourhood.

Do you have any suggestions?
What's the best way to protect the shine of my trailer without making my front lawn look trailer-trashie?

I thought of blue tarpping it but the grommets would scratch the skin. There must be other ways, right?

Sincerely and Thanks for your thoughts
Karen

I'm going to be calling Camping World and ToyBoxCover to have a custom RV cover made. Stay tuned for the price.

Hi Karen, Take a look at Winterizing, Storage, Carports & Covers. From what I've read on the forums it's not a good idea to have a direct contact cover on your Airstream. Airstream Cover? is a good thread to start. Post #4 has a link to another thread that also helps. Hate to see you spend extra money just to have your new polish job messed up.
