ADCO Covers

I have had absolutely no luck with ADCO RV Covers lasting longer then a couple of years. My newest ADCO cover, made with Tyvek (which is good stuff) is disintegrating at the seams. It is not Dupont/Tyvek its the way ADCO assembles the cover.

I spoke with Victoria at ADCO and they refuse to stand behind their product and accept the fact the thread they used cannot handle the elements, this thread rots and the cover falls apart.

Here is my blog post, complete with pictures, please read it for more info.

My ADCO is ten years old and other than a few places where is snagged on a sharp edge, it is in excellent condition - thread and all.
Maybe it's a UV thing.

I've had mine 4 years. The Tyvek has held up well to 4 NW winters. Maybe its different with hot dry climates.

Must be the sun you get. Here in New England I get rips in the sidewalls from wind and sharp edges, but no seams falling apart. 1st one was Tyvek, lasted 6 years. I'm 2-3 years on the 2nd and no issues as yet.

Sorry about your problems. I've been considerably luckier with mine; had it since '08, although I did skip using it a couple of years. I'm sure I don't get near the strong sun you do though. Hope you have better luck in the future.
