Hi, I just purchased a 2011 rp172 and am looking for a cover. Is anyone looking to sell one or can you give me an idea where to find one?
Thanx,

dababe, I jumped the gun and got one from Forest River, I also have a 2011 RP-172, fits perfect, but I think the site furpod is trying to get you to has a nice cover for about 1/3 the cost, I think I paid $450. its nice and really heavy made, has a zip out door opening so you can go in and mess around in the winter months, I think the one from camping world also has a zip open door, good luck on your search, these great people on this site are very well informed and give great advice. Happy Poddin, Dane and Donna

I bought one from FR and paid $400.  Fits perfect.  Made in Indiana.  The Northern Tool are cheaper and made in China from what I have found.

I bought one of the Northern Tool covers. It's not very heavy - I actually put a tiny tear in it while I was installing it last fall.  I'll fix that and reinforce it if and where needed next spring. I've been in the pod a couple times since I covered it so I've had a chance to look it over, and it seems to be holding up OK. If I get 3 or 4 years out of it I'll be happy.

I have not seen one of the Forest River covers. It would be interesting to see them side by side. Maybe at one of the upcoming rallies we could do this and take some pix to share.

Paid $124 for one from the Northern. We have a 177 and live in Wyoming. Biggest concern up front was how "wind worthy" it would be - - if you know anything about Wyoming you know why. Long story short. Our 177 has been under-cover since the end of last October, when we towed it home from the dealer in Colorado. There's been a little shifting but the cover has held strong. I took short pieces of those styrofoam noodles and put them on all 4 corners since the cover can/does rub against the rather sharp corners of the trailer.

For the price paid it is a great cover and I could buy 2 more before I would catch up with the list price from Forest River.

i agree with footslogger, the northern is what i got for my rpod 171, it fit like a glove, and to top it off they do have fastners that go under the rpod to make sure the cover dosent fly off...
i think its a great idea to have the styrofoam noodles at all the places where it might rub against....
 
as for covers in all, i bought a heavy duty grill cover for my outdoor grill, and it was factory and real good, but with three seasons of sun, rain and snow is enough to damage anything.....i would think if this cover lasted 2 years and every year after that would be as if i am running on profit

Thank you all so much !  I ordered the one from Northern and look forward to it arriving.
 
On another note, On average, how long can I expect a 20lb tank of propane to last when using the furnace thru much of the night ?
 
Also, what do you prefer via experience when running the fidge....propane or the battery?
 
I am just trying to figure out how much usage I can get and the most efficient way.
 
I bought an extra battery and am wondering if I really need an extra propane tank. Thanks.
