I wondered if anyone has considered using Tyvek for Dandy related items like, insulation or trailer covers?
The stuff might also come in useful for repairs because it is light, easily fixed, durable, breathable and yet waterproof.

It may be possible to buy surplus from someone in the roofing trade to try this stuff out.
