Just purchased a 2013 Coachmen Mirada 32DS. Started looking at an RV cover for when storing during winter months. Live in RI. Looking for opinions regarding the different manufacturers of RV covers for class A.

We cover ours with a Sunshield tarp; black side up in the winter and silver side up in the summer.

We have an Adco cover on our 43' coach and it works perfectly. We did buy the warranty as no cover is going to last three years in our heat. So for the cost of the warranty we will get a new cover. We did that with our previous 38' coach. I know there are a lot of nay-sayers about covers but from my experience using one religiously for the last six years we have had:

No damage to the paint or finish of our coach
No issues with tearing(I do cover a couple of sharp edges with tennis balls ๐Ÿ™‚ ) Keep in mind, we have wicked monsoons and still no problems.

We replaced ours because the straps got dry-rotted and ripped in two eventually.

I have used ADCO Aqua-shed covers in the past with good results. If you cover the sharp objects on the roof with foam (something like pipe insulation) and secure them properly you will get a min. of four seasons and no paint damage. With the New England snow/ice and all the stuff that falls off the trees (leaves in the fall and pollen in the spring) I still believe it is worth the effort. The only down side is you will need to wait for the snow to melt before removing it so if you are planning a mid-winter trip down south I would hold off. Good luck.

Some retailers sale warranties with the covers. We bought our TT cover at CW with a three year warnety. We have used the warranty one time so it has paid off. I think we pay $50.00 for a new cover. No hassle.

They are terrible. Paid nearly $400 for one of them, and it started ripping and whipping my other coach within 2 weeks.
4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

Don't buy an Expedition brand. Less than a year, the top was decomposing. The manufacturer insisted that I deal with the seller for warranty, The seller insisted that I deal with the manufacturer.

Within a couple weeks of one year old, it was unusable. I gave it to a neighbor, who planned to use the sides of the cover for chicken coop covers.
