Putting a lid on a wide track sankey
Evening all, I'm considering buying a sankey trailer to use for camping and general purpose, but want to store it outside at a caravan storage facility local to us as my current trailer is taking up too much room in my garage.
So, I need to put a secure, weather tight lid on it.
Ideally it will be strong and lightweight, easy to open and reasonably cheap to produce/fit. It won't be required to support a roof tent or anything like that.
So, anyone got any ideas, plans or pictures that they have done or know of where this has been done?
I thought about using GRP panels or 2mm aluminium, but I'm unsure of what products are available on the market with regards to the hinges and keeping it weather tight.

Picked up this today as I never got round to making one, built by someone in the RMP to keep their gear secure while out and about, just needs some rubber adding to get it waterproof enough for my needs!
Has four lockable hinged lids for easy access, very pleased with it for £150!

A 'borrowed' Sankey I used recently with a bodge-job for the Foxwing....
