We had the same concerns about our cover. We covered our 178 for the first time since getting it in June this past weekend. We kept looking at the antenna thinking there must be some way it retracts or something. It seems very flimsy! There are lots of smart people on this forum that probably have better advice, but we tied a couple of strings/twine to either end of the cover and ran it front to back over the pod. We are not very tall, so my husband stood on a ladder to get it started and to guide it over the antenna and air conditioner while I pulled the other side. It worked great. After we figured that out, it only took a few minutes to do and then secure. Good luck!]]> Sat, 26 Jul 2014 07:23:49 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4898&PID=48906#48906 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4898&PID=48896#48896 Author: 3ofUs

Good information, GingerPod. Wish I had known my carport would be such a wind tunnel was the reason for the burned finish from the car cover.]]> Sat, 26 Jul 2014 06:32:03 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4898&PID=48896#48896 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4898&PID=48889#48889 Author: GingerPod

In my opinion a cover for the RPOD is a no brainer if it is to be stored outside in the elements....

To answer your question,the cover designed for the RPOD fits over the AC and TV antennae just fine.

Additionally, the Gel Coat finish is MUCH more durable and resistant to abrasions as opposed to any Vehicle paint finish.

Generally speaking,storing a painted vehicle outside under a cover in not recommended,but Boats and RV's are.

We have a cover, but never use it. Our concern was a previous experience with covering our Corvette on a carport and the wind blistered the fiberglass. Instead we choose to pay monthly rent to put in an RV storage unit. ]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2014 08:38:53 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4898&PID=48335#48335 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4898&PID=47621#47621 Author: pepmac
