Super C RV Covers

Sooo, I did it and everything Gene said was true...lugging the cover up the ladder was a near death experience, it was very heavy and hard to manage. Un rolling and unfolding it and then tripping over the vents 14 feet up could've been a fatal fall....but alas its on. I padded sharp edges and then snugged & tugged....its still kinda a roomy fit and I may try cinch down some extra material up front.

I'm hopping but not overly confident that this will be good as I depart for three years....

I'll try and post a pic from the computer later....

I have an Adco that is for a class A that my 35 footer would fit. A lot of extra material up front. Padded all the sharp edges it still got a couple of holes. Don't use it anymore, we went fulltime 1 1/2 years ago.:)

Thanks for the input and Gene I re-read your post a couple times and I know that would be my experience....you cracked me up.

I really would like to "shed" my rig and I actually have the room. I'll give it some more consideration....unfortunately the covers are gonna be more affordable....in the short run at least.

I still would love to hear from anyone who has had good luck with a universal fit cover for a Super C, if they have any recommendations.

Again Thanks!

I have a cover for my C and yes, it is sometimes difficult to handle and it wants to wear in the corners, but it does a great job of protecting the RV from the AZ sun. The UV is brutal here. Before the cover, inside temps were routinely over 100 degrees in the summer and the graphics were fading. Not any more.

However, mine is an ADCO one size fits all that is supposed to fit an RV 23-26 feet long. Mine is 24 and there is no way to reef the extra material. It's just too big. It protects, but it looks horrible. If there was some system for gathering the extra length some where in the middle of the RV, it would be great, but alas.

What Gene from NE said.

I've had several of them, and to me, they're just short of a nightmare. They wore through on many of the sharp places or corners in less than a year, unless I reinforced or padded that area. Then the pad falls out, and there's your hole. That cover will be heavy. If you can figure out a way to "shed" your unit, that would be best.

I rented an enclosed storage and have never looked back, even though it costs a pretty penny.

Anyway, to sort of answer your question based on my experience, I bought a couple custom made, and one universal. The universal was pretty floppy, and seemed "taller", so maybe they would fit yours. I think the universal stated maximum height for the RV. I bought one that was about 6" shorter than recommended, and like I said, it was floppy.

T3FITZ - Before you spend that kind of money, I would like to share my experience.

I owned a Class A and had nowhere to store it for the first winter. I bought a Tyvek cover that cost around $400. I wrestled the cover the first year and in the spring, when I took it off, I never used it again. Found indoor storage about 60 miles away.

The cover was heavy to lug up the rear ladder one handed. Even tried climbing the rear ladder with a rope and then drag the cover up from the ground by pulling it onto the roof. Then you gingerly carry this rather heavy cover around the vents, the A/C, the antennae, and the fantastic fan vent cover. Then when you are on the front edge of the RV, try to spread the correct end of the cover and lower it down the front. Now slowly spread the cover and work your way to the rear. Then you see that it needs a little re-arranging and try walking on the topside of the cover and not step on some of the items sticking up.

Finally, now at the edge of the rear, slowly climb down the ladder and spread the cover down over the rear all the way to the ground. The whole time climbing down the ladder you are under the cover and can see nothing.

During the winter, the wind, the rain, the snow wanted to get under the cover and lift it off like a hot air balloon. I used heavy stretchy rubber cords to hold it from flying off. It wore the paint off the RV in a couple places.

Next spring, I had to climb up the rear ladder while under the canvas and at the same time trying to pull the cover up to the roof. Now slowly rolling and tumbling the cover forward avoiding all the roof protrusions until you are at the front. Breathing a sigh of relief as you toss it to the ground.

A cover for a Class A might work for your Chevy Kodiak Class C. Having a couple other helper people might have made it a fair fight.

When I sold the RV, the cover went with it free. ;)

I got mine from Cal Mark.
It is now 7 years old. Was $750 back then.
I added a second layer of Sunbrella around bottom edge. To protect cover from the sharp edge created by compartment doors. You may not have this with a Super C.
Cover has held up very well.
