While I absolutely understand your desire to protect it, it is no more in danger than simply driving it would cause, so you might want to just trailer it uncovered and clean it up on arrival at your destination in order to avoid the above risk.

I certainly agree with Marty on this. I would not put a cover on an open trailered car. You really do run the risk of likely paint damage. Hauling it uncovered is just like driving it and after you've arrived at your destination
just give it a wash. I remember that people using some of the early "bras" also complained of paint damage on long trips. The original C4 paint is quite hard and durable (according to a detailer who did a paint correction on my '95 a while back). You should be fine.--Bob
