Adco cover turning into powder

Wow, sorry for such large pictures. First picture upload on this site. Anyone have any tips on picture size ?

Call ADCO about it. I had an Aqua-shed one that fell todust and they replaced it within warranty. The sun is not their friend.

My fiver cover held up for all of three months before it started to pull apart at the seams. Took it off and decided they were not worth the money or effort and have never used one since.

YES!!!!

Go back on edit, erase the original pics, and reload- after you plug in the URL, select "640" or less in the width box...

That's really strange. My ADCO is one of the grey ones, it's ten years old and has never done anything like that.

I'm on my 6th or 7th season with my adco cover, I use it only for the winter season...early spring to late fall it gets stored in the garage. I wonder if adco is buying them from different/cheaper venders. sun or not, only a few months? something is not right.

our designer series is going on year #4, used anytime the trailer isn't going out for a few weeks, summer and winter. It has a few punctures from sharp things like the steps but nothing like what you show. Actually, the Tyvek roof section has more holes I had to repair, most from birds, but some where things like the AC cover screws wore through.

Actually the sides are in wonderful shape virtually no wear.

But then we don't get lots of sun. I'd give Adco a call and see what they have to say.

BTW the best way I found to repair tears is to put a patch of the Adco adhesiver repair material over the hole then cover it with awning repair tape. Holds much better than the adco adhesive.

How long have you owned it? Just because somebody in CT has owned his for 6-7 years, doesn't mean you should expect that kind of longevity in Tempe. There's a big difference in the amount of sunny days you have, the temperature during the summer and most importantly, the UV index.

That said, my cover up here in northern AZ is going to be four next year and it may not make it. I will buy another.

I am on my third Adco cover. The first one was the grey one and it lasted three months short of the 2 year warranty. They sent me another one but it did not come with a warranty. Apparently you only get to exchange it once. It lasted one and one half years. I am now using the designer one. It seems a little better but it is only six months old. I live on the California coast and get some sun depending on the weather. But it only gets up to 70 here and it still didn't last two years. I think its better that the cover deteriorates then the trailer in my opinion.
