    The display trailer houses the complete spare drive train for the Futurliner, including engine, transmissions, generator and transformers. This trailer is not uniform in shape and making a cover was a real challenge. 

    With this set up, we can power up the Futurliner's light fin, clam shell doors, and all the lights. Del Carpenter pretty much engineered the whole set up, and also the ribbing needed to facilitate a cover. 

    Don Bratt, who produced our good selling video "Miracle at Beaverdam," met with Aaron Zomberg at Printech Ads Inc. in Grand Rapids, and they made a cover none of us thought possible.

    It is a very durable weather resistant vinyl, and has the colors and trim detail of the Futurliner. It is awesome to see.

    The cover appears loose in these photos because none of the anchor snaps have been installed yet.
