Default Car Cover Made for Travel?

I was wondering if any of you have ever heard of a car cover, custom cover preferred, that was designed especially for covering a vehicle being towed. We plan on towing our Mustang behind our RV and would like a cover for it. We used to have a couple of jetskis and the covers that we had for them had like a vacuum vent so that when traveling down the road the cover would suck to the skis. In fact, after stopping, you had to wait a couple of minutes to allow vacuum to loosen. I haven't found any like them for a car, but there may be a reason, such as not good for the paint, I don't know. If anyone has any suggestions or links, I would love to hear them.

Thanks, Kathy

I love covering a car! My concern is that you may have your car getting beaten to death by a flapping cover, while in motion. Paint abrasion.

That's why I thought the jetski style may be better because it is sucked unto vehicle by vacuum and has no play. I could be wrong though.

Thanks, Kathy

You're jet-skis are made out of fiberglass and I believe they hold paint better - or at least resist scratches better. But take a CLOSE ilook at your skis (I had two as well). After years of towing with those covers on, is the paint quality really up to your standards for your cars finish?? Mine definitely were not. I don't think you can - or should do it. I would go with a towing bra that basically covers the front end and the hood.

OOPS...

My Bad...

Lemme see... Stang is 188 inches long... devide by 12 15.6 feet.

soo.. she needs a 16' trailer.

I joke.. however... some friends and I rent a U-Haul trailer to take our motorcycles to an event sometimes. Last trip Hauled to Colorado Springs.. then rode the bikes on a circle through the mountains / Grand Canyon and back to Colorado where we trailered them again and drove back to STL.
