I’m about to order a tarp from tarpsonline to keep over my Compact during this summer’s rebuild. I know for a fact that all of the skins will come off and the wrap (inside panels from front to back) will be replaced. Any recommendations on what size will be sufficient to keep this 12.5’ camper safe during the rebuild?
Thanks!

It's been a few years but I think 30x24 leaves enough to wrap under the camper.
12+8+8 front to rear
6 1/2+8+8 side to side
Others with more recent experience may chime in.

Yep I like going just below the skirt boards. And remember that the actual size comes out a bit smaller than the sizes shown. They tell you that on the size charts.
I'm in the middle of shooting a tarping video now. I've just been so dang busy and when I started that video the wind came up in the middle, then my memory card ran out and I had to re-shoot some of it. Just too much going on lately but I'll get it out soon.
30' is a bit big and as your trailer starts to lose parts, that 30' will become cumbersome so I would just go below the skirts with that measurement.
