I'm trying to find the right cover for our RP189.  I found several on-line but I'd like to get something that will hold up well and also protect the Rpod.

How does this one compare?

Or are there better ones out there?  Thanks,

We got a big ol' gray and brown plastic tarp from Home Depot that works just fine.  It's got plenty of grommets around the edges to tie it down.  We put it on the Pod when we left for Colombia in July and when we returned at the end of August, all was just fine despite the 20+mph winds we often get in the afternoon.  I put the gray/silver side out to reflect the heat and it's kept the Pod surprisingly cool inside.

And the best part, it was cheap.

We bought same brand for our 171 years ago, and with the exception of 1 minor tear near the fender (my fault) it has held up fantastically.

Regarding the fenders, use a piece of foam on the edges (pool float ones work great) of the fenders and that will help prevent cutting the fabric.

We're starting to get a lot of ads for covers and are also curious what others recommend.

That's the same one we bought, though I purchased through etrailer and it was $40 more. Amazon has a good price. I didn't even think to check there.

Ours is nice and seems to work well, though I have to buy a decent step ladder to take it on and off. We tried putting it on without one and it was like a scene out of the Three Stooges!

It's easiest to climb on top of the rPod to install the cover.
