Best RV cover

Hi all,
I have a 25' Alumascape travel trailer that is 17 years old but in nearly perfect shape. I have always kept it covered to protect it from sun damage and also my neighbor's giant tree that drops a ton of leaves. I have used Eevelle covers in the past and got about 4 years service out of each. However, my most recent Eevelle Goldline cover (their best) only lasted 2 years. This cover was not the same quality of the prior covers. These covers have a 5 year warranty. I have been unable to reach Eevelle by phone or email, After 6 weeks of trying to contact the company I am looking for suggestions on what company makes the best covers. Most of the reviews I see online suggest people only get a year or two use out of the typical cover.
Anybody know a superior brand??

    Lwiddis, I bought my first Rv cover from National and it lasted 4 years which I was happy with considering our intense sun. I believe Eevelle makes all of Nationals covers. My complaint was about my most recent Goldline cover purchased 2 years ago has already shredded due to sun damage. This cover was almost $500 and much poorer quality than my prior Goldline cover purchased thru National.

    Bought a 31' long metal carport 6 years ago for $2400. It'll last longer than my camper.

    Mitch, I think you got your money's worth on that Adco cover. I notice you say you use it mostly in the winter. I use mine all year round and think it's the summer sun that killed mine.

    I know ADCO covers get a bad rap here, but I've been using them since around 2005 and only replaced the first one after 11 years of winter use on my old 2003 Prowler.

    Here it is after about 8 years of use..



    I got a new ADCO cover for it in 2016 only because a couple of the zippers finally failed to zip...

    Then I traded that Prowler for a ton of $$ on the new 2019 Rockwood and the first thing I got for it was a new ADCO cover.. The Rockwood is a longer trailer, so the 2016 ADCO cover would not fit..

    So far so good on it as well..

    Just my experience with them... I know other's have had them rip up and fall apart in less than a year... So, dunno about that.. They work for me..

    Good luck! Mitch
