Has anyone purchased a cover for their Rpod?  If so, does the cover work with the air conditioner on top of the unit?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Jeff

I'm definitely interested in one also.

We bought our Pod just before we bought a house. We were planning on building one with a 10' garage door to park it indoors, but that's not possible where we'll be. So we're left storing it outdoors for the long term. It's not my preference, but I see many RVs stored out in the elements for years with only minimal fading of the paint. A cover makes a lot more sense to me though.

Fits over the AC no problem.Nice quality,nice price.

Measured by overall length including tongue so be sure to get the correct one.

Thanks Ginger! I'd noticed that one too but wasn't sure if it would fit.

Do you have any idea if the large one would fit over a 177?

I would say the middle size would be for the 177 model Pod.

The cover specs for 18'-8" length,same as FR specs indicate....remember this spec "includes" trailer tongue.

Although the cover it self only covers the trailer "Body"....stupid way to market a cover if you ask me,unless it covers the tongue as well,which it doesn't.

That being said,the actual cover is only as long as the body which is roughly 3 feet shorter than specified Confused

We have a cover from Northern Tools that fits our 173 perfectly.  Made by Classic Accessories-good quality.

I freaking LOVE this forum! AMAZON!!?? Never would have thought of looking there for a cover. Way cheaper than anywhere I've seen!
Thanks Podders..
I'll take a Medium for my 171, thank you very much!!
That button at the top of the remote?
