Trick
Yes, there is a very effective trick...
To help in milking the cover down, take a 3 foot chunk of shock cord and tie multiple half hitches (or attach it prussik-like) around the standing part of the rope. Then, just pull the knotted cord down the rope. The cord will grip the rope much tigher than you can and never lets go. It works great. You can get out most of the slack in just one trip down the rope.
