Hey all,

things are going great here in Bellingham we are planning on a short
camping trip to Anacortes end of the month. I was remembering I was
skimming through the GMC mails and I saw something about a cover. We
are now in the rain most of the time and the GMC seems to be dry but I
don't want to take a risk to ruin all the work we did. If anyone knows
of on or one that works and is functional even if not for us GMCER's.
Again thank all of you for all the support and assistance with the
GMC, we love it and have a great deal more to do but it is now able to
camp.

(Obi Wan voice) Ahhhh! Bellingham and Anacortes, two words, I remember
well, but not heard in years... :)

I lived in Oak Harbor for years with the wife. She was stationed at
NASWI, I went to my duty station at McChord AFB 98 miles south. lol

ah the memories, If only I had a GMC, id have saved a LOT of time
instead of driving I-5 for hours...

(sorry just reminiscing.) :D

Addco has a travel trailer cover that fits the GMC quite nicely. I purchased a 26 foot one for my Palm Beach, but probably could have gotten by with the 24 foot one.

Camping World has them on sale right now if I remember correctly.

John...We bought our coach out of Friday Harbour 4 years ago and with a lot of work and MONEY, we have a treasure worth the effort.
I have a 22/24' Adco cover (for trailers) that fits quite well, concidering the shape of our coaches.

We sell them as a distributor, but I think they also sell direct.
If nothing else you can compare prices.

Jim,

All of this talk of model numbers for a 26 footer. Do you have one that will
fit a 23' nicely?

If you live in a windy area, don't expect to use it a second season.

There are two type of materials to order
One is more durable, but does not let it breath, while the lighter one will
breath and used in wet climates , but not good in windy weather.
By installing more Hole grommets to tie down the cover in more places.
The trick here is to not have loose fabric around and to cover sharp edges
with some rubber material.
