Class A cover recommendations

[Doclucero]

I have a 33' Fleetwood Bounder and I am looking to purchase a cover for it. Any recommendations for the best RV cover. Thanks

Welcome to iRV2!

A lot of people have found that a cover is not a good idea due to difficulty putting it on as well as abrasion caused by wind.

Also they don't last long for the money you spend. I went through several before I just gave up on them.

We had one (Adco designer series) for our first MH. Only had the coach 3 years and the cover was in good shape and it went with the coach. We had our second MH 17 years and had 2 Adco covers. The second cover lasted 2 more years with our current rig then just fell apart. But I felt like 19 years of Idaho winters was well worth it. We replaced the Adco with a Gold Line. It is heavier and a little harder for me to get up on top of the coach, but after 3 winters, no holes or tears. None of these covers caused any abrasions.

The best cover is an enclosed, climate controlled building. 2nd would be an RV port, like I had. A fabric cover is better than nothing, I guess. Just don't expect them to last more than about 3 years, due to wear n tear. You have to have them snug, but not too tight & you have to pad every possible sharp edge.

One very important thing about fabric covers,
Is that, some users of those don't realize that they GET DIRTY TOO. Just like the coach/trailer etc. that they're trying to cover and protect, those covers get real dirty too. The importance of knowing that fact is, knowing how to remove and replace it when it comes time to.

The average owner, AND USER of one of those tarp/covers, typically rolls it up in some sort of fashion because it's the easiest way to handle it since it's quite bulky. The problem with that fashion of handling is, you ROLL UP THE ACQUIRED DIRT/DEBRIS right along with the fabric! Not Good!

Then, the next time you decide to apply that cover, as you unroll it (which is typically up on the roof), what are you doing? You're now rolling dirt/dust/debris right down on to the roof and or sides too, in between your cover and the coach/trailer. This at a minimum, defeats at least half the purpose of having a cover.

The correct or proper way to remove a cover like that is also the most difficult way. And that is, to actually fold that entire cover IN HALF. That way, you trap the existing dirt and debris to the outside of the cover and nothing ever gets to the inside. Once it's folded in half, you can now roll it in any fashion you desire to be able to handle it. The next time you go to apply it, you un roll it (again, probably on the roof) and when you unfold the two halves, all the dirt/dust/debris IS STILL ON THE OUTSIDE and not transferred to in between the cover and the coach/trailer.

But also again, this method is by far, the most difficult way to remove and replace that kind of cover. WE used to do it this way with our pool cover(s). Those covers acquired a ton of dirt and debris just from blowing winds etc. So, we'd fold them in half, which traps all the dirt and debris ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE COVER, then roll the rest of it up. Unroll it to put it back on the pool and then unfold the two halves and all that dirt and debris ARE STILL ON THE OUTSIDE.

I witnessed a first yesterday. A 5th wheel probably 36+ feet long going down the road behind a Dodge pickup, RV cover just a flappin' in the breeze! ��
