Here is a deal that sounds too good to be true. E-bay item #
140412479254, $39.95 with free shipping for a GMC motorhome cover.
Must be a big roll of Saran wrap :^)

Nelson,

I sent the seller a note detailing the size of our GMC's and asked if the
covers he's selling will fit.

Regards,

My experience with covers has been far from good. Between the wind, dust, sun and trying to put them on, they have proven to be more destructive than good.

I've found that driving the coach is the best thing for it and the cover discouraged me from taking out for a healthy spin.

You can't buy enough Sunbrella or even a low grade cotton sheet to cover the
windshield for that price. I'd stay away, far away. Besides, they don't
write very well.

G'day,

I sent them a message with the dimensions of a GMC and here's the response
from the seller.

Dear Ebayer,

We apologize but our largest cover still wouldn't fit your motorhome.

Thank you for the inquiry,

-Jennifer

If someone is really interested, I have a cover I'm ready to part with. I
used it for three months. It worked well. It was made for a generic
motorhome up to 28 feet in length. It's an ADCO brand.
