ABSTRACT:
The cover protects a vehicle from damage by weather. The cover has a flexible shell that is located over the surface of the vehicle. The shell is spaced from the surface by at least one inflatable tube. The inflatable tube is coupled to the underside of the shell by way of an attachment tube. The attachment tube is coupled to the underside of the shell by way of one or more flaps. The attachment tube has an interior cavity that receives the inflatable tube therein. The attachment tube has plural lengths, with each length extending adjacent to at least one other length. The lengths are separated from each other by gaps so as to space apart the attachment tubes and minimize the weight of the cover. A single attachment tube and a single inflatable tube can be used, wherein the tubes are laid out on the shell in a spiral or a zig zag pattern.
