Things started out okay getting it on.  Then Murphy's Law took control!  I just about had 1/2 of it on when the wind picked up and blew it back off!  But, I persisted!  The next thing I knew I was standing on the roof pulling that thing on against the wind.  I had it on sideways!Cry  Got off the roof and by pulling a little on one side then move over to the other side and pulled a little I got it turned around.

It fits pretty good!  Like others have said "the zippers for the door opening doesn't hit exactly right" but I can open the door all the way with no trouble.

For the money you can't go wrong.  It seems to be well made too.  I'm going to cut up an old "T" shirt and make some padding for the 4 corners.  It looks like the corners will eventually rub through the cover on mine.

Too bad I didn't have this cover before the sun ruined some of my decals.  But its just a small piece.

where are the pictures of you "flying"your cover?LOL
 
My only problem I see with the covers are that the wind will catch them and rub against the trailer doing damage.  But I may be wrong.

Question:

Does your Rpod have the rooftop AC unit and the round Wineguard antenna.

Another thing that works well on the corners are strips of those foam beach noodles. Split them open and spread them over the sharp corners.

Yep to both.  The noodle things sound pretty good.

I purchased my Northern Tool cover in October and the177 pod is put to bed with the cover on since Dec 1.  It was easy with two persons doing the covering.  there is a video on putting a cover on and it does help a lot as well as the instructions in the package.
