Sap, bird droppings, damage from falling acorns, etc.

Love the cover. So other than dust, since I empty my trailer for off site storage, what does it protect the trailer against? And does it take long to put on?

For that price I really should get one.  Under our trees our pod gets so dirty so fast.  A week or two after washing it you wouldn't know it.

I just picked up a cover for my 176T from Meijer.com .... It's the Classic Accessories version that Northern Tool, Camping World, etc. all sell. Got a good price , I think, at $138.99 and free shipping.

I'm very thankful for our BRB cover, which keeps the Pod warm and dry all winter, and is easy to access all doors. Oh, yeah, BRB stands for "Big Red Barn" LOL

We passed the winter in Québec and it did very well. 

Everything is alright on our R-Pod

Yes, the cover is from Forest River. You can see there is plenty of room for the a/c and the fabic is water repellant and fairly tough.
 
We had a choice between this colour and camoflage green/black. To my way of thinking this stands out less than the camo. I am pleased we bought it as our cargo trailer just has a blue tarp on it which flaps around and is a nuisance when we want inside for something.

Took my cover off last weekend. Bought it from N. Tool. Once little incident while I was pulling it off from the front it snagged on the R-Dome track and tore a silver dollar sized hole in it. Didn't pull it very hard so the material is pretty fragile. Not a big deal. Axle risers don't seem to hurt the step height. Except for my short legged wife no one seems to notice and it really does look better.

   It looks like a cover from Forest River, they fit like a glove. When we ordered our trailer it was one of the options that we included. You could call Forest River or check with your dealer to order one. The other option is to go to Northern Tool and order one from them.   Goose
