I have a Nomad. In my experience it's pretty dry. In the front, near the bottom corners, there are spots where some water can get in if you're riding through a frog-drowner. I usually have my sleeping bag, packed in a waterproof sack, stuck in the front so it stays dry no matter what. The rest of my stuff that's packed in the rear and top stays dry no matter what I'm riding through. I've also left the trailer out in the rain over night and everything stays dry, so I believe the top cover is waterproof. It's just the few spots in the front where there a gaps in the cover where water can get in.
