Does anyone have any experience with this . I keep a car in the trailer in the summer and am thinking of leaving it in the trailer for the winter. Is there very much downside risk. The trailer does not leak. I live in Ontario Canada and it could get a mite cold.

Re: storage in enclosed trailer
Don:
I'ved stored cars in an enclosed trailer druing the winter months for the past 10 years. I haven't notice any difference from storage in a unheated garage. I cover the car, remove battery, place mice bait around and in the car, and open the trailer roof vents about an inch. I also have the trailer up on cinder blocks about a foot above the ground. My location is NW of Boston, so the weather is a bit different than Ontario. -
Re: storage in enclosed trailer
I stored cars in a trailer one winter in Chicago and one in Akron, OH. The trailer did leak, but not from the top, but the sides. However, it drained on through, and did not puddle inside.
Neither car showed any bad signs, other than dust and dirt build-up. If you have a breathable cover on, I'd expect they would be ok.
I've stored them in a trailer a lot more, but winter in Florida is hardly a problem.
I wouldn't leave the top vent open. In a hard rain, or melting snow, it could leak. If you want to vent the trailer, install some of the side vents that look like a scoop on the side. Be sure to use screening to keep bugs and critters out.Comment
