We've towed our 2020 RTL, on our 12' alum trailer, behind our Winnebago View several times now this year. We had one bad experience with rain going from Az to Co this last spring (May 2025). I've described the issue from back then here:
Excellent suggestion on pulling the fuse ... duh ... thx ! ... will check out the receiver connections as well.
Long story short - It rained hard all the way there, then after we arrived and fired up the Spyder, we heard an extremely loud static noise coming out of the dash speakers. Nothing I could think of solved it (switching music sources, volume all the way off, fader etc.) Ended up disconnecting the front speakers for the time we were there. After getting home and things drying out, I hooked the speakers back up and it hasn't happened since. It may have been too much water hitting the amp connections.
Last month, I finally got around to wrapping some diamond plate around the front of the trailer (see pics). It's still quite low, but I'm hoping it helps some anyway. Haven't hit bad weather again since that trip (yet). Plan to add this nylon curtain splash guard:
to the back of the RV in hopes that will help some as well.
No experience with Track Tape, but just took a look at it on Amazon, and the reviews were not very favorable (leaving sticky residue, etc.) Maybe others have had better luck.
An enclosed trailer would be the best solution, if money and storage space were not an issue.
As far as the finish goes (aka terribly soft OEM paint and clear coat), I plan on adding ceramic coating to the painted surfaces in the next few weeks, in the hope that that too, will help when trailering. I would still not open trailer it with a fabric cover.
Great looking motorhome and Spyder BTW!!
