Just bought a small travel trailer, although not vintage, but thought that since most vintage travel trailers tend to be small that y'all might have some resources to share? I'm looking for a cover and most companies don't cater to trailers only 13.5' long. Or custom making one is so expensive. Any recommendations?

Trailers are measured by TOTAL length of the trailer: from tip of tongue to rear bumper. Covers are generally sold by total length but some will mention "body size" as well. Many only cover the body, regardless.
Look for small trailer covers and also check out R pod 150 and 170s. The R pods do mention the body size. Adco makes a variety of styles and sizes for all trailers. The white topped ones are a little more weather resistant than standard covers. None are waterproof.

Would it help to share measurements of the trailer?

I paid up and got a RV Masking cover. It’s too big for my Shasta but it’s held up well from 10-110 degree weather and major rain monsoons.

I wonder if covers might cause problems with moisture trapped (mold) or surface abrasion due to wind. I think it's better to have a solid roof covering, like an open shed.

The cover I bought vents pretty well. I am not going to use it on a freshly painted trailer. It’s temporary until I get my shop built. I’ll use it to cover up future in process projects.
