ADCO Tyvek RV Covers

Hello all,

With winter just starting to approach us here in Colorado, I was wondering if anyone puts a cover on their RV??
I purchased an ADCO Tyvek cover and have heard that they have a tendency to put holes in the rubber roof. If anyone knows about this please share your thoughts. Thanks..

I think you are going to find most of us do not use covers. I've read that not only can it put holes in the cover, it can also rub the fiberglass and leave scuff marks.

I guess if you strap it down everywhere, it would be OK, but I don't cover mine.

I had thought about a cover but too many negative post on other sites that are telling me no to.

Just did some research yesterday for a carport. Found what I want for about $4000.00 installed. I think I'll try to have it up by early spring.

We too are considering a cover for the winter. After spending 2 weekends polishing and waxing the 5'er it seems like a good idea. We looked at covers made out of Sunbrella Fabric; expensive but supposed to hold up well. As for rubbing, I have concerns but from what I've read so far the consensus is to put some kind of padding on sharp or protruding edges, i.e. ladder, A/C unit, and slide out awnings. We don't have the option to build a shelter for it so the cover seems like the best option. My brother-in-law is considering the same for his Fuzion ToyHauler (we both park our units on my parents farm by the barn). Now for those of you that went with a cover any comments to help decide which one to buy would be very helpful.

Many companies make nice RV covers. I looked into buying one for ours and found that with the high winds we have here in Northern California during the winter months, the cover would do more damage than good. If you live in a low wind area, then a rv cover would be a good purchase. I purchased a custom cover for our truck, and take it off when the wind comes up over 25 mph. We get winds of 50-75 mph during the winter. My plan is to purchase a 32x50 shop to hold the WC and our two tractors. Prices are coming down because of the economy, so it makes it a good time to buy.

I am one that DOES cover our 5th wheel...in fact, this is the 4th year for this cover! I do have to protect sharp edges, corners, and such and do have a couple of holes in the cover from effects of wind and all. I have not seen any problem on the roof, and have not seen any effects on the sides either. I never get the cover too tight, it should be able to flap some, hence the holes and the protection from starting more......

Now for the bad news.........I covered mine last weekend :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

guess that means I shold go hibernate now :drunken:

Thank you Flyer, I appreciate your comments. Also, I feel your pain; our 5'er goes to bed for the winter this weekend..sigh.

Well ... it still sounds like a 50/50 split on opinions. I'm also considering a cover for my 32QBBS. I've looked at both the "SFS AquaShed" and the "DuPont Tyvek" covers. Since rain isn't a big problem here in Atlanta (I wish it was!), I was leaning more to the Tyvek. Guess I'll do a little more research first.

I have used a couple of covers. The main problem I have had is here in Florida the sun destroys them within two years. Even the ones that are suppose to last 5+ years. The manufactures will not replace because it is not a manufacturing defect.
