Has anyone ever successfully towed a teener on an open trailer with a car cover? If so how did you do it and what did you use? I'm worried about the track car I'm building being in the elements (rain) when towing, especially on long trips. Budget doesn't allow for an enclosed trailer this year.

Have never covered my teener, period. I have however packed more machine tools for shipment then I care to admit. We pad all the corners with old carpet or foam. Plastic visqueen (spelling) over the top, then shrink wrap (stretch wrap) around and over as best we can. Key with this stuff is to take clear packing tape and go around and over to keep the shrink wrap from blowing off on the trucks. Seems like A lot of work for a car IMO. BTW, i won't even tow the boat with the "travel cover" on.
