Close to pulling the trigger.

We're almost there. A few more options to look at. One thing that has come up is length. If we go for any of the versions that have a cargo area at the front we lose out parking in the garage. How are you guys storing your A-Frames outside? Especially for those like me who get a few months of snow. Do you use a tarp or cover of some sort? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the help.

Thanks, looks well protected. Custom build or something you purchased?

Be sure to use a RV cover and not a tarp. The tarp will not provide adequate circulation, though it will be a lot cheaper in the long run well worth the investment of a good RV cover.

A tarp will cause mold and mildew because it doesn't breathe like a RV cover.
Don't ask how me know! 😣

I keep mine covered in south FL. The covers don't last too long but keeps trailer fairly clean and protected from the sun.

Now you know it can be stored outside. IMO the a frames are exceptionally easy to tow, easy to set up, easy in every way. I have enjoyed camping more in the last 2 years because of all the above reasons. Best thing I did, was trade in my travel trailer.

A frame is easy to tow, easy to setup, easy to store. For all these reasons allows me to enjoy the outdoors. To much of a trailer takes the focus away from the outdoors. But, that's my idea of camping. Not for everyone and that's okay. To each their own.

We did the same thing. The A Frame is easier to pull plus my wife will pull it.
