Pod Cover

I have a factory pod cover for our RP-172, rain is heading toward Southern Indiana, Donna and I attempted to put in on in a light wind, after much gnashing of teeth, and watching it slide off as she watched it hit the ground she finally went in the house.  I rolled it out weather side up, rolled from the back to the center, and then from the front to the center, bunge corded each end, climbed a ladder tossed it over the center right at the a.c. Rolled out the front first, then the back and had it on in 5 minutes, tied it down, opened the fantastic fan opening about 1/8 of an inch, turned fan off, plan to watch during the winter for any signs of mildew.  May have to crack the windows if I see problems.  I plan on cooking on the convection oven some during the winter to learn how to use it. Any one have tips on the Factory cover, problems ?

Sorry you had problems with the cover.  I bought the Northern Tool version and with help from Dad--he on a ladder and I on the opposite side with a painters pole were able to get it on in about 15mins.  I also cracked the "bedroom" window and the vent in bath ceiling to allow circulation.  I opened many cabinet doors, refer door and have a small ceramic heater on low.  I am hoping with all of the precautions taken I will not have mold/mildew issues in the spring. 

We Floridians need a cover, in some ways, more than most people.  The suns rays hit more directly down here than in most parts of the country.  As long as you open a window some and open the vent in the bathroom ceiling you will be fine.  Just don't cover it and close it up tight.

I purchased my cover for the 177 from Northern tool and I am very satisfied with the ease on covering and the material construction.
