Sunbrella Covers: Calmark vs. ADCO

ADCO'S ARE THE WORST COVERS PERIOD

Never had a ADCO. Have a CalMark that I purchased in 2006. Still using it.

I think it depends on whether or not one of the stock size ADCO covers happens to fit your particular trailer properly - if you get a good fit, the material will last a long time, if it is too big, it becomes difficult to secure properly, and the wind will take its toll. CalMark has the advantage of being manufactured to order (in the USA) to the specific measurements of your unit. We had one for our previous trailer as well has for our present trailer, and they both fit well, and held up well.

I spoke to ADCO on Friday and it appears that I can purchase a custom cover from them like Calmark, zippers where I need them, the size I need etc. Now I guess the construction will be different. I am also working on getting a firm to the dollar written quote from both based on our exact needs so I can see the exact price difference from one to the other. It is hard to see why people are having trouble with ADCO if it is the same material?

I think it is because ADCO makes covers from several different materials in several price categories. I would think their Sunbrella covers would be pretty much top of the line.

CalMark used to also make covers with a nonwoven type material, but discontinued them. I also don't know where the ADCO covers are manufactured either.....

Another Calmark satisfied customer. Highly recommend them!

You're correct, ADDCO has several levels of quality. I had 2 of the cheaper covers with the white top. Those were made in China and lasted 2-3 years in the hot So Cal sun. The Sunbrella is supposed to be much better I hear.

For my next cover, I'm going to take a look at Goldline.
