ABSTRACT:
A flexible cover is rolled from a second longitudinal edge of a trailer opening, over spanning members, and any load held in the trailer, to an opposite first longitudinal edge. A harness, which may be a "V"-shaped pair of ropes, is mounted to a mid-point along a longitudinal free edge of the flexible cover. The opposite edge of the flexible cover is fixed to the first longitudinal edge of the trailer. The harness is sized so as to be positionable laterally from the second longitudinal edge to the first longitudinal edge of the flexible cover, across, so as to lay on and extend laterally from, an upper surface of the flexible cover when the flexible cover is unrolled so as to be deployed across the trailer opening. When the flexible cover is rolled-up the harness is correspondingly rolled-up in contact with the upper surface of the flexible cover in the storage position. An elongate flexible lead, such as a throw line is releasably securable to the harness, and is sufficiently long so as to extend across the opening of the trailer to the ground on the side of the trailer when thrown thereover from a first side of the trailer corresponding to the first longitudinal edge of the trailer opening. A furling crank is provided for selectively rolling the flexible cover from the deployed position into the storage position.
