In a previous thread there was a discussion about dust and debris getting in the velco flaps. Maybe everybody already knows this but most of the debris that I find in the flaps comes from debris that was on the rear roof or at least this has been my experience. ???
In order to minimize the amount of debris that collects in the flaps, I have found it helpful to sweep the debris off the rear roof.
When I close and lock the rear section, I usually stand on the rear bumper to determine if there is a lot of debris on the roof. If there is, I push in the bed of the front section which is still open. I then stand on the trailer tongue with my head and body inside the open front section and with a broom I sweep the debris on the rear roof toward the back of the trailer as far as I can reach which is about halfway. I then stand on the rear bumper again and with the broom pull the debris toward the back, beyond the point where the rear of the front section seals on the rear section.
I know this is a little more work everytime you close the trailer but I guess you have to decided is it easier to sweep the roof or brush out the dust and debris from the inside. ;D
