5'er covers

I know this has been covered before but I just saw a trailer where we are staying with a really nice cover on it. It's a PolyPro by Classic Accessories. Has anyone had any experience with this company and it's products. Their website talks a good game and it is nice looking and well fitted. They also have two less expensive lines. The one I saw would be $765 for my 5er. Thanks
  • I have a Calmark Cover for our 33' Cedar Creek. I only use it over the winter and it has a zipper for the door to access. I tie it down with ropes and it works well. I store it in a wheeled garbage can with a lid. I have the front of the cover at the top of the pail. I tie a rope around the front of the cover and climb up the ladder then pull the cover up and over the trailer and drop it over the sides. In the spring, I pull the cover up on top of the trailer and have my wife guide it into the pail as I slide it off the trailer. Roll it into the shed and close the lid.
  • I used a cover one season for my 5er. It had a zipper to access the door, and I didn't think it was terrible to put on.

    That said, we live in an area where we get a lot of wind. The ropes I used to tie it down ended up rubbing the paint off in several places. Sold it on craigslist after the one season.

    Had one for our 28' and could install myself, it was a LOT of work for minimal results. Could not imagine putting one on our 32' Copper Canyon 293 FW SLS. We are out about once a month, so not worth the effort.
  • Have you thought about how fun/difficult it would be to put one of these covers on and take off and where would you store it and how much it weighs to handle and...
    We use a Sunshield tarp and have for years.
