Good afternoon

I know this subject has come up many times, but it's getting to be that time of
year and I can't find the info I thought I had written down from previous posts.

1. Does anyone have a cover they want to sell ??

or

2. What specific ADCO standard travel trailer cover has been recommended??
I've heard use a 24' vs a 26', etc.

I'm just looking for a basic cover, nothing fancy. I park the coach in a
storage lot in the fall and don't go back to it until spring. I don't need door
access or anything special.

Thanks



Ray

Ray,

We purchased an ADCO for 22'/24' for our 23'er and it "overhangs" quite a bit - Hard to tell, but that size might be OK for a 26'er - I'll post some pictures tonight if I can and tomorrow for sure - That way, you can see just what "overhang" I have and if that will meet your needs.

Didn't someone quite a while ago mention buying a cover for a 26' travel trailer as they are not as tall as a cover for a 26' SOB.

I definitely know that they recommend a travel trailer cover vs a motorhome
cover to get the correct height. I just can't remember if they said get the one
that fits a 24' trailer or a 26' trailer.

Thanks

Yup, that's the one we bought (travel trailer) - Overhang on the sides is OK, though a bit more than we need as there is nothing on the roof - Overhang on the ends is where the "quite a bit" comes from - Looks to be about one foot plus, both ends, more than we need.

HI Ray,
I've got an ADCO cover that I do not need anymore. I have used it every winter for the last 4 years and covered the coach inside of a pole building. It is a generic cover with a zipper opening at the GMC door. Never really been outside. I was able to purchase a custom cover for the GMC and will be using that from now on. I'll let it go reasonable...PM if you are interested and we can work it out. To bad I didn't know this two days earlier....we just went through Milwaukee last night on our way to Gohsen. After Goshen, we will head up around the Great Lakes and will not be home until Oct. 7th. Hope that meets your timeline.

...if you are buying an Adco, get there 24' travel trailer couver. There is a bit of overhang side to side, but it does fit best front to back. I have Adco's for my 26 and the 29.5.

Ray,

Tried to post some pictures, but kept getting a failure error message for some reason that I'll have to look later - In the meantime, I'll send pictures to your email address.
