storing a rib on trailer

I've been looking to buy a RIB, but also trying to find a permanent home to store it. How bad would it be to store it on a trailer covered for a few months until i can get indoor storage?

Many people store their boats outside permanently you'll be fine for a few months

Mine is kept outside in a boatyard. Same could be said for those who drystack.

Yes she gets a bit grimy if left covered all winter but cleans up easy at the start of the season.

Just invest in a decent well fitted cover that fully covers the tubes to keep the UV rays away from the material.

It’s often much cheaper stored outdoors.

I have kept mine on a trailer at a local caravan storage place for many years. V cheap and close by! A good cover is a lot cheaper than undercover storage.
