rv cover

Prior post on Best RV Cover.

ADCO tyvex is my pick! They are pretty easy to tear though if you yard on them.

I HONESTLY think RV covers are too much trouble for what they are worth. They are very hard to put on. Also if they are not 100% tight, wind will smack them around till holes form.

Many have to replace after a year or two. I'd suggest if possible just going with a custom built RV carport (with sides installed if you really want protection).

I also agree with an RV garage. I built mine using 1.5" metal pipe for the frame and metal sheeting for the siding material. with the self tapping screws, it cost me right at $1,200. Mine is 12' wide, 12' high and 26' long with doors on both ends. If you can't go this route, the rv covers work ok. I was buying mine off ebay, every other year until I built the garage.

Calmark Sunbrella has been good for 7 years. Still using it today.

Save your money for fuel.

Just installed a semi-custom Calmark Sunbrella on our new-to-us 2009 28' Triple E Regency B+ and am very pleased with the fit, zippered access to door, 6 year warranty, reinforcement fabric supplied for stress points, and other details.

The cover weighs 50 pounds so I tied a strap to it and had my wife assist as I pulled from the top. Used some pipe insulation to smooth some sharp edges. The cover includes a nylon rope sewn into the base and grommets for bungee cords (14 in my case) to secure the sides. Installation is not too bad with a mechanics sled to roll around under the RV. I have the wheels off the ground with the HWH leveling jacks and will keep the RV covered through the summer. We are volunteer campground hosts in TX & AL during the winter. UV damage to clear coat took a toll on our previous RV & the Sunbrella Fabric will help.

We live at the mouth of a canyon and have winds every evening through the night. I will monitor and adjust cover as needed. Very nice cover, a little unwieldy, but worth the expense and effort, I'd say. Would you like to see a picture?

Although not addressed to me, I would like to see a picture.

This is the Calmark Cover (along with separate wheel covers). Nice fit!

X-2, a major PITA to put on or take off, first winter used, got 3 holes in it. Seriously thinking of going the RV carport route.
