Classic Accessories PermaPro RV Cover
We put on the new RV cover today--good that there were two of us. It had been a pretty calm day until we started to unfurl the cover, then the wind kicked up! After it was on, the wind died down again. Hows that for fortune?
I didn't get a photo of the prep work I did on the roof. I put a styrofoam packing box around the swivel vent and covered that with another piece of styrofoam to stabilize the top and taped that to the roof.
I had some old pool cover heavy duty bubble wrap and I used that to cushion the antenna with the Jack antenna on it, and the radio antenna, I think it is for the weather radio. I put another piece over the ladder to cover the sharp sides of the steps and the top and bottom of the awning arms--the awning is currently off. I also taped the sharper edges at the bottom where the cover tucked under the RV.
The cover has elastic in the corners so that it grips the underside of the RV. It is made like a nice quality tent--you can kind of see the polyester is rip stop--about 1/4" cross hatching, and the underside is a smooth polyethylene type coating.
We started to unroll the RV cover as in the directions but soon found we had to turn it over and over to get it to separate from side to side. Of course exactly then is when it got windy! There were many folds in the material and it was folded in half and then in sections instead of some kind of accordion fold that would just release to go down the sides. One of us was holding the front and the other opening and smoothing it down from front to back so we were able to get it on despite the wind.
We have a 22 ft. 2 in. RV and the cover was for 20' to 23'. I would say it was a pretty tight fit, more like an exact fit, don't think 23' would get under this one with the corners straight. But there is a lot of extra material in the front.
While it is pretty fitted in the rear.
I really like the way the strap clasps have triangles of reinforced material where the clasps are and that the top is fitted with a double row of stitching at the corners of the roof. There are four full length zippers to a side, one at the front corner, the cab door, the rear door and the back corners on each side. The cabover material is somewhat fitted too although it kind of hangs down in front under the strap and clasp.
It might billow a bit too much in the front and I will have to add some guy lines to cinch it down a bit more. There are extra plastic belt type loops but the instructions don't point out how to use them. It has a four year warranty and is supposed to stand up to winter conditions. I really like the cover and hope it will last. And hope it keeps possible leaks in the cabover from letting water into the RV over the winter.
