rpod cover for winter - Event Date: 08 Sep 2015

That is what I was told during our winterizing class that the dealership put on. So I will brush the snow off but we leave the vent open and the pod uncovered.

Originally posted by Mountainrev The advice about not covering is true only when you're talking about old fashioned, non-breathable material (e.g. blue tarps).  The covers made for the R-pods are made of breathable material.  The covers will protect your camper from UVs.  I cover ours, just as I did with our previous popup.

That's exactly right.

Here's the cover we've been using with our Pod. It has mesh flaps at the top to allow moisture to escape, but they are designed to not allow rain back in.

I've seen the harmful effects of long-term UV radiation from the sun on campers, and it isn't good. It looks to me to be a very good investment.

We are new owners and have purchased our cover directly from Classic Accessories. After being on for only 3 months, holes developed around the ends of the gutter over the slide-out and at the ends of the R-dome track. Classic Accessories replaced the cover w/in 3 days of my filing a warranty claim. They even found a copy of the invoice they initially emailed me so that I had all the documentation necessary. They were great to deal w/.
Before I use the new cover, I am working on ways to soften these sharp edges. Any suggestions?

I use tennis balls with a hole big enough for the down spouts, works great.
