Hi all,

I am trying to find a cover for my 2017.5 179. I received a reply from Classic accessories, and they said their current 179 cover will not fit the new units with the Thule awning. I'm waiting for a reply from Forest River on this question now..

Anyone know where an appropriate cover might be found? I want a lightweight cover as I'm not to concerned about winter. I'm more concerned about the hot summer sun beating down on it ...

Thanks

Steve did you find a cover? I am picking up my 179 with Thule tomorrow. I ASSumed I could easily find a cover for it but I just saw your post...

The classic cover works fine with the Thule awning. It's big enough to accommodate. I also have a 2017.5 179.
