Has anyone purchased a cover for their Rpod? If so, does the cover work with the air conditioner on top of the unit? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Jeff ------------- Jeff & Kyra 2015 178 2011 Toyota Sienna |

I'm definitely interested in one also.
We bought our Pod just before we bought a house. We were planning on building one with a 10' garage door to park it indoors, but that's not possible where we'll be. So we're left storing it outdoors for the long term. It's not my preference, but I see many RVs stored out in the elements for years with only minimal fading of the paint. A cover makes a lot more sense to me though. ------------- "Not all those who wander are lost." Tolkien 2014 Hood River 177 2005 GMC Envoy XL |

Thanks Ginger! I'd noticed that one too but wasn't sure if it would fit.
Do you have any idea if the large one would fit over a 177? ------------- "Not all those who wander are lost." Tolkien 2014 Hood River 177 2005 GMC Envoy XL |

I would say the middle size would be for the 177 model Pod. The cover specs for 18'-8" length,same as FR specs indicate....remember this spec "includes" trailer tongue. Although the cover it self only covers the trailer "Body"....stupid way to market a cover if you ask me,unless it covers the tongue as well,which it doesn't. That being said,the actual cover is only as long as the body which is roughly 3 feet shorter than specified  ------------- FOUND OUR NEW-RETRO TEARDROP!!! |

I freaking LOVE this forum! AMAZON!!?? Never would have thought of looking there for a cover. Way cheaper than anywhere I've seen! Thanks Podders.. I'll take a Medium for my 171, thank you very much!! ------------- That button at the top of the remote? That's the power button..press it. Turn it all off. Go outside!

Hi, We purchased our cover from Amazon and yes works great with A/C. Amazon was the cheapest place we found. Just need to know your pod size, we have a 171 and ordered the second one that fits up to 18'8. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GZLR6XC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ------------- Everything Happens 4 A Reason Pat & Viki McCartney 2015 171 {2McPods} 2014 F150 Pittsburgh, Pa |

The second one on amazon that is for the 18'8 should fit it, that one fits our 171 perfectly. ------------- Everything Happens 4 A Reason Pat & Viki McCartney 2015 171 {2McPods} 2014 F150 Pittsburgh, Pa |

| Glad to know how well the cover on Amazon fits the 171. We bought one after checking the reviews on Amazon when we bought our pod. But won't be putting ours on yet to try the fit since we will be taking the pod on it's first travel soon. |
