    It is with either system. The guy sales guy said he preferred the manual crank method against the speed locks because the tarps stretch is what he said. Now they have a few different slots for adjusting it for wear. I am now wondering if I should go with the crank now.
    How is your connestoga?

    Any body use the speed lock system on the aero xp conestoga?

    Verduyn is the best...the front door is level with the deck....the front door has one latch to open and the bulkhead is a lot stronger than all the others..I would wait for the verduyn, you will be glad you did...

    Resized_IMG_20220112_070530(1).jpeg Resized_IMG_20220112_070542.jpeg I have a Merlot rolling system on my 53 ft flatbed. As stated, yes it is easy to replace the panels but as for the rollers, they suck!! Been in the shop for the last three weeks to have the rear wheels replaced, and I'm headed back once again. The whole wheel base bracket on the back panel keeps breaking. Is their a system out there that doesn't have such a weak construction?
