My tarp i have covering my 26' in storage is ripping and breaking, any body have suggestions at the best/cheapest tarp for it? or maybe a cover will work too, the one i had on it was from harbor freight 29'x19' for 50 bucks


Thanks David

P.S. it needs to cover the rear window as vandals broke it out

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car, understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Hp is how fast you hit the wall, and torque is how far you take the wall with you when you hit it.

Davis, How long did your HF tarp last?

I got two 12x20 for 14.98 ea (on "sale" at HF). They cover the windshield, rear window and keep the leaves and bird stuff off the top. Several other HF tarps have lasted several years before shredding.

I should have added:

"Standard" answer is a Camping World (Addco?) cover for a 24' travel trailer, sometimes on sale for $200 plus. Covers it all, has zipper access to the door.

We have been supplying custom covers for the GMC in the last couple years.
We have 2 selections that seem to hold as a custom cover tends to huge the
coach and it holds up well compared to the one made for standard units.
Tyvek or Sunbrela material are what ADCO recomends.
In sunny areas, Sunbrela does best and caries a 5 year warranty and Tyvec
100% material has 4year warranty.
List price for the Sunbrela is $1,200,we sell them for $950
List price for 100% Tyvek is $1,100, we sell them for $850
They have zipper so you can enter the coach with the cover on.
They will also supply reinforcement sections should you have protrusions
that might wear that section.
