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

They will do the trade under warranty.


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.

Hi again OldNeumanntapr:
Etrailer does not do the warranty.  I tried that myself.  Contact 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.

see you @ the R-pod rally in August!

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.

Mjlrod,

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

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

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.
