Specifically to my double drop and RGN friends. Do you bring tarps out with you, or do you find you do well enough without them? I’ve recently talked to two drivers who both pull a mini deck, one of which always brings tarps, the other whom never tarps. Both say they do well and stay busy. Have any of you tried both scenarios? Thanks for commenting.

I always figured everything that would go on an RGN would be too big to tarp.

I used to carry a 30x30, a 24x27 w/flap, 2 24x24 and 2 16x16. AND the 40 and 50’ straps (4 ea) and this took care of everything I ever wanted to do. All the tarps were 14oz vinyl so not too heavy. Got em all at Mytee in Ohio. Sold the RGN in 16’ and got a step. Liking it better.
If you wanna see some of the stuff I used to haul, go to YouTube and type in “sbaumann14 “. I made videos.Another Canadian driver, cke, FerrissWheel and 1 other person Thank this. -
I carry plenty of tarps. One that will cover anything 34ft long(my well space) 14 tall and 14 wide. Ive got 2 direct customers I purchased other tarps for that will fit different machines perfectly. I carry about 6-7 tarps.

Sounds like I will definitely be investing in some tarps. Funny… when I bought the connie, I thought my days of slinging tarps were over
