guys, the machine is for me ... I do have a CLOSED trailer but I just don't want to do the 10 hour drive ... and somebody with a open trailer / pick up is offering to bring it .. we're just trying to put every chance of our side of not getting the MDF wet.

Trust me I have packed, palleted and moved numerous games. It is from that experience that I know that even with wrapping multiple times with wrap that moisture can still get into the wrapping regardless of how many times around you go. Normally that small amount of dampness isn't a problem because it doesn't have a chance to stay in there for more than a few hours, but this is the particle board cab from hell.
If I can't find a big enough bag I am thinking about using sheets of vapour barrier sealed with barrier tape, then wrapping the whole thing in plastic wrap.
Kirkland, is that sold at Costco? I looked on Canadian Tire's shelf the other day and I didn't see anything big enough there.
Whats that Shap pain in my back Oh it's a Knife Complete MAACA-Wacko!

Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
I should have thought of that, garbage bags would have been a good idea for the Fish Tales I just sent out.
I thought you had to Pack Fish Tales IN Water, Other wise the Fish on top might die!!
Dave (Not really wanting water in the Fish Tales.)

Why not use some of the blue plastic people use to seal off there boats for the winter?
It is cut to any size and seals with a quick pass of a torch. 100% water tight.
just a idea.

That is what I do when I transport a pin in my pickup truck. I put a tarp around it and then shrink wrap it very well. Then I rest it on 2 x 4's so if it does rain it is not sitting on the bed of the truck and will get wet. Also get a white tarp, dark colors attract heat and heat up the pin. Never had an issue or a wet pin by doing that.
I've transported lots of pins in an open trailor and many times in rain (pouring rain) and did exactly as HP5P describes here with no problems what so ever. You can go for this method, no problem Necro. Anyway, if you don't, I'll unwrap it and do it like this myself when I get the pin (no chances to take on a couple hundred dollar investement).Claude.
If you don't have shrink wrap and a tarp, I'll be bringing one with shrink wrap myself, so, just don't wrap it at all and I'll take care of it when I get it.
