Has anyone had any luck with hurricane straps on eby hoppers, or are they just ripping tarps? We currently don’t have hurricane straps for that reason. The only thing I can think that’s different from these vs timpte or Wilson..there’s no straps going from front to back. Any advice would be awesome.

In my expeience with the newer power tarp systems the spring arms are stiff enough you don't need hurricane straps unless you are running manual tarp. And I have seen multiple guys add Timpte type bow straps to their Ebys after the bows ripped through the first tarp.
