If your tarp has grommets, just hook the bungee onto the tarp, then onto the trailer for a snug fit.

Wind can blow, no matter, tarp stays on.

I'm a " freak " about keeping my V21 protected and this works great.

Unfortunately, you may find that a large amount of snow, coupled with a good stiff wind, may be more than your bungee cords can handle. I cannot count the number of times that I've had to replace a bungee that ripped through the rubber and out of the hole. Get a steel cable and weave it through the holes in the tarp, then around the trailer, then on to the next hole, etc etc. It's a little more work, but well worth it.... also, it prevents the cover from sagging and allowing water/ice/snow to build up and puddle...ultimately ripping your tarp from the added weight.



This is how I used to do it before I started using a center beam from bow to stern. Now my tarp has a center peak that helps shed snow and water much better, but you get the idea about the cable weaved thru the holes and around the trailer. See how it tucks the tarp nice and flat against the sides of the hull and provides a better seal against the wind and elements? That's what you're striving for.
