And the Perma Pro Cover comes with a "lifetime warranty." They had a black Friday 40% off sale..you might see if that's still on.

Does anyone have an update on a cover for a 196 (or 195)? I have been looking and unable to find one.
Thanks

   Classic Accessories in Kent Washington the manufacture and they will except the warranty. They will want a couple of pictures and a copy of the receipt from etrailer.  I have purchased several items through etrailer and found they are a hit & miss.  Seems like more miss sometimes.  Classic Accessories were very nice to do business with.  I had a new cover within two to three days.

Mjlrod,

Like you I have gone coverless for 4 years, no issues. When I was using cover the mold was heavy.

Greetings:
My cover just went on for the start of the 5th season.  It's done well.  We get lots of snow and ice in MN and it preserves the finish and decals.  I put blocks under the tires and cover them too.

I wanted to but Etrailer wouldn't agree to it. I even offered to pay extra for the higher priced model, but they said they had to replace it with the exact same one.

I never use a cover, Haven't had an issue. I been told by some you MUST use one, and others say it's not needed. I don't know who's right, but my first pod, a 172 was uncovered for the first three winters i had it. Never had any problem. Just dust the snow off after a storm.  My 2 cents 
2017.5 Rp-172
2020 R-pod 195
2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl
I'll be rpodding

We bought a Classic Accessories cover from eTrailer online for our 2018 180. They matched Amazon's price. Our 1st one only lasted four months and got shredded from the wind storms last year here in CA. It was replaced under warranty. The replacement seems to be doing OK but I'm really careful with it.

Becareful taking it on and off. It's EASY to rip the cotton on the top. It gets brittle because of being in the sun.

An 8-ft step ladder helps a lot to take the cover on and off. Get a sturdy one!! It's money well spent and cheaper than a broken leg. ;) 

The cover really does help to keep the rPod clean and free of sun damage.
