  • Thanks Artum
    It was stored in thier house when not in use.But said it was marked front and back.
    Has two parts(bags) to install.
    Had it on a big sky 5ver .For 50 dollars couldn't go wrong I thought
  • I used mine 2-3 times before giving up. The only way I could install it was to crawl up on top of the FW. My DW tried to feed it up to me while I was pulling, dragging and unfolding. I did not feel safe at all.

    Then, the wind picked up one day and tore it pretty badly. I gave up. I'll deal with the sun damaged labels and plastic.
  • A lot depends on how it was put away, but from what mine said, I think you should lay yours out in a long line and spread it out, then keep the long line, but bring the two sides in to the center.

    Once you do that, put the cover into a garbage bucket starting at the back, and fold it back and forth as you store it.

    Once most of it is in there, you climb up the back and bring that long line forward to the front along the roof, then you spread out the sides and hope it is long enough for your rig and will fit.

    Removal is the opposite, bunch up along the roof, then with a helper keep putting it back into the bucket at the back as you feed it along the roof from front to back.
  • Resell it on CL. There is no easy way to install them. It takes two people, and mine lasted all of six weeks before it started falling apart.
