welcome aboard Staphory - looking forward to photos of your ride and adventures

Welcome! If you've been lurking, you know that the mod bug will hit you hard

Mine stays under a carport most of the time, while I have room in my shop for it, it would get in the way of too many projects, so it's only in there when I'm working on it.

Upon advice found here, I bought one of these : Budge Rain Barrier Car Cover Waterproof RB-2

Budge makes all different kinds and thicknesses. I mainly got this one to keep the dust and moisture off of it that can be blown into the carport.

Hello Staphory an welcome mine stays in garage but cover max has good cover. It is not for towing cover but parked and rain cover works good . It is reasonable price from eBay

JUST SAYIN

Mine stays inside except when I am out of town riding, 76,000 miles since Feb. 12, 2015

This will work until you build a stick unit.

I learned last year at Maggie Valley that the Cover Max cover is not waterproof.

Staphory If your not sure and cost is a factor....there are a number of Slingshot for sale used on the forum... Not sure where you are located but if you post our location the guys nearby probably be willing to help a little. Welcome...

Welcome Staphory . I would definitely look for a used one. Bought my first one and second one new. Bought my wife’s used and got a a much better deal.

Also, my neighbor uses that Harbor Freight portable garage for his Factory Five 32 Ford and it works great. He would prefer to have it in his garage but he’s using half of it as his temporary shop and his wife puts her car in the other half.

Welcome ,

She sleep comfortable in her trailer.

Hello all!

New member here. I’ve been in love with the Slingshot since I first saw one in an advertisement probably 3 years ago. I’ve been lurking here a little over a year and reading everything I can find about the Slingshot.

Sadly, I don’t own a Slingshot but I rented one two years ago in Las Vegas and last year in Maggie Valley. It was a blast both times! Now I’m getting closer to being able to fit one into my budget. This leads to my question...

Does anyone here not have a garage or some sort of covered parking? My cars are parked outside in the open. My wife and I intend to build something (garage or carport) at some point in the future but it isn’t a huge priority.

Should I hold off on the slingshot in favor of some sort of covered parking or would one of the available covers be sufficient for a while?

I’m in east central Mississippi so snow fall is not a concern but rain is.

Thanks for any replies.

I would like to add,

If you have a nice Weather Proof Cover for the slingshot. It will be just fine. You have a few links already to their points.

maverick5990 I will have to say that there was moisture under but there was more on the ground. It may not be completely dry but sure better than nothing. Sorry to here you got wet ,but I think all of us did last year, right

I used a CoverMax for several months in East Tennessee. Built a metal carport for the Sling and the Mazda. Only 4 grand installed. Great buy.

I travel full time with a RV so my Sling is always outside. I do have the Polaris trailer cover so use it when parked also.

Maybe true about old ladies but not you my friend.

Hope all is well - we miss you here in Clarksville

Even though the SlingShot is supposed to be weatherproof, personally we would not leave ours to the elements 24/7, surely you can afford $300 for at least something like this to protect your twenty-thousand something toy?
