Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"
If the trailer is big enough and could handle the extra weight, I would build sides and a top for it, because at least then, you could lock it up completely, away from prying eyes/hands of neighborhood children, and the top would keep it nice n dry, and ready to ride.
It's an idea to think about, if you can't build yourself an extra storage building.
Covered trailer would be best next to the garage. I use a piece of rolled roofing rubber and some plywood to cover the gap from the seat area . The rubber keeps it very water and snow free. 24" of snow cover now.
