ABSTRACT:
A device for covering a vehicle so as to protect the vehicle from the elements. The device includes a water impermeable cover having a top surface and a bottom surface that are defined between a front edge, a back edge and two side edges. A plurality of formers are coupled to the bottom surface of the cover. The formers support the cover above the surface of the vehicle, thereby preventing direct contact between the material of the cover and the vehicle itself. Protrusions extend from the bottom of the formers. The protrusions contact the vehicle and support the formers a predetermined height above the vehicle when the inflatable formers are laid across the vehicle. The protrusions are spaced apart along the length of each of the formers. The protrusions define gaps between the formers and the vehicle through which air can flow. Air is therefore free to flow under the protective cover, thereby keeping the vehicle cool and preventing moisture from accumulating against the finish of the vehicle.
