Tire covers for my Class A for the Arizona Summer?
Hi all,
Unexpectedly, my Dutch Star will be outside and facing north for the next four months. I usually garage it so I’m a newbie when considering tire covers. Any recommendations on what to buy, I’d welcome
Thanks in advance

Here’s what I got and I like them. Nice and thick and they seem to fit really well. The little bungee is a pain, but works well.

I would buy an inexpensive set if it's temporary. The ones linked above look good. I've had good luck with the white Camco covers.
Carefully measure you tire diameters, so you get the correct size.

I use them when outside in CA. I found that the bungees aren't needed if the cover fits well. Even windy days don't move my covers without the bungees on.

I highly recommend Magna Shade Tire Covers. Easy to use and they look good.

I also use the Camco white vinyl covers while in AZ for 7 months. White will reflect the suns UV rays and heat the best.

I found if I hold one hook end, lay the extension pole down, stick the other hook in it and push it through it helps a little.

I agree that the Magna Shade covers look good in a campground, showing off your wheels. However, when storing my coach, I also want to protect the rims. Why expose the wheels to the elements unnecessarily.

This is what I bought for our Windsor. I chose the black but other colors are available. These are really well-made, with elastic to hold them in place so you don't have to mess with a strap behind the tire.

That surprises me. I then have to wonder why we see very few dark colored roofs in AZ. Mine and the neighbors is lighter colored tile. I've also found it easier to stay cool in our white vehicles vs the few dark ones we have had. I would much rather go outside in 100 degree sun in a long sleeved white shirt vs a black one. Are tires different? Guess I'm confused.
