I've been having the same problem over the last 4 years. I carry my wheeler in the back of my pickup and spend more time cleaning it after each trip than I do using it. I have a nice cover for it that I use in the summer months, but it won't fit with all my ice fishing attachments (auger mount, rear box, bucket holder). I tried a plastic tarp once and a painters tarp once and ended up stopping multiple times because the thing was shredding in the wind. It probably would be worth having a custom canvas cover made for it, but I think that it would cost me an arm and a leg. I was thinking about getting a open trailer for the quad, shanty and other stuff, but I have to come up with a quad cover first. I'm sure the spray will be worst with a trailer. Any ideas would be welcome and much appreciated.
