Winter cover recommendation

Does anyone have a recommendation for a quality winter cover for our 30 four winds? Snow and ice protection needed. Wholesale sources of supplier ? How are the covers measured, by box length or overall actual length. I am in Northeastern, Pa.
Thanks in advance
  • Agree with EMD360 that the PermaPro is best. It is much less bulky and lighter which is great for getting it in place. Has straps and click snaps at all tie down points.
    Most important is whether your mirrors can be rotated to fold. If non-folding you need a cover with triple zippers where the mirrors are. Without the triple zippers you will not be able to secure the cover properly.
    Bought it on Amazon for a good price but it will probably be shipped FedEx Ground from Washington.
    Using it on a Jayco Melbourne 26 foot and the 26 to 29 model fits well.

  • I like ours. It is a PermaPro Heavy Duty cover and it was at a "discount" through Amazon. We have only used it one winter season, and except for a small hole that was rubbed into the bottom by the bumper last year, it looks like it will hold up for many years.
    I like that it is lightweight ripstop nylon material like a tent. Considering what tents cost, this cover seems like quite a bargain. Just be sure to choose a windless day to put it on!
  • Adco Tyvek has served me well in those conditions. Got mine at CW. They're generally on sale this time of year.

    X2. But will not find one at a discount. Mine is 9 years old. Has some repairs. But still protects the motor home.
