    How the hell do you get your tarps rolled up tight enough to fit in that top box.

    They are 3 machinery tarps and a smoke tarp. I carry 2 bigger tarps in my trailer toolboxes. I very seldom tarp anymore. I don't carry a full set anymore. I've had enough of that sh.it.

    I should come get a tarp rolling lesson from you. I couldn't even get my 2 steel tarps in that top box.

    I’ve even got a full box of bungies in there. I think the top box is bigger than it looks in the picture. Do you half your tarps when you fold?

    I pull one end back about a third before starting to roll.

    Switched over to a little one for the winter. This one runs on less than 1 gallon a night. It rides in the headache rack and I just pull it out for the night 36A3046E-EAA1-4F90-AC99-CED5E89FE943.png
