Need advice on trailer bunk covers.
The carpeted bunk covers on our FloatOn trailer have been discovered by squirrels and they have chewed the fabric. I suspect that even with my rinsing the trailer with SaltAway there is still some residual salt that attracts them.
We presently keep our boat in a freshwater covered slip and store the trailer outside. Occasional trips to the coast using the trailer, hence the salt exposure.
So I wonder if anyone has replaced their bunk carpet with one of the synthetic products like Gatorbac covers? More expensive than new fabric but maybe more resistant to critters?
Thanks
