    Any of those trailers would certainly work for that scenario!

    I'm right there with ya. I'm going to get rid of this SD and go back to a flat. Most likely going to buy a 53' Revoltuion in a few months.

    A steel tarp is 16' wide and usually only has rows of D's down the sides, not across the ends, nor do they usually have end flaps. Also known as 4' drops. Lumber tarps are 24' wide, usually with end flaps and are also known as 8' drops. Machinery tarps are various sizes, no flaps and have rows of Ds around all 4 sides. Smoke tarps are small, mine are 10'X12' for covering the front of a load only.
