R-Pod Cover

Just got off the phone with ADCO RV Covers (in the Good Sam Club catalog). They have a standard R-Pod cover for 170 models up to 15'1", but that won't fit my RP-178. My coach measures about 16'5". They said I'd need to have a custom fitted cover, including the AC, TV antenna, etc and quoted me $527.

Ye Gads! The model 170 15'1" pre-made covers are $180.

We have a cover for our 177 that we never use since we have covered storage for our rpod. If these covers are going for the kind of money you're talking about, we should think about selling ours. -- Steve

Yes there are different lengths...the 171 thru 177s are 18'4" up to 18'8". The 178, 181, and 182 are all 20'...these lengths include the tongue.

When you measure for a cover you only measure from the end of the spare tire, if so equipped, forward to the front of the coach...do not include the tongue in that measurement. My 178 coach is 16'5". The cover made for the R-Pod at present will not fit my 178...gotta wait until later in the year when the new covers are supposed to come out.

I don't need high quality. Yes, the fabric in question here was Sunbrella...the higher end fabric.
Where did you order your pre-made cover and which size did you order? Did it come with the door side zippers?
