I just bought a cover (and wheel covers too) so I can keep the sun and the snow off it this winter. I plan on camping until late Oct and then I'll winterize and cover it. We may tow it too Florida this winter for a few weeks but aside from that it will be covered up...hibernating!]]> Sun, 27 Sep 2015 21:42:24 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=66448#66448 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=65905#65905 Author: 2psinapod

I use tennis balls with a hole big enough for the down spouts, works great.]]> Mon, 14 Sep 2015 14:59:33 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=65905#65905 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=65899#65899 Author: Mountainrev

Cut up a small foam pool noodle to size and place on sharp corners.

Here in northern Vermont we have 10 months of winter and two months of bad skiing, so we haven't had that problem.]]> Sat, 12 Sep 2015 15:51:02 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=65847#65847 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=65845#65845 Author: WillThrill

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.]]> Sat, 12 Sep 2015 14:21:45 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=65845#65845 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=65822#65822 Author: Mountainrev

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.]]> Tue, 08 Sep 2015 21:12:53 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=65724#65724 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=65720#65720 Author: candl

Does anyone cover there pod in the winter. I have heard that they need to breath and covering them was bad.]]> Tue, 08 Sep 2015 20:50:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6935&PID=65720#65720
