Cover for '80's 35 FC's

[dru penland]

Hi All!

Does anybody know where one might purchase a good manageble cover for 80's
model 35-foot FC's that has hatches for the A/C units? Maybe this asking does
not exist. Having to fight too much debris and sun light exposure.


Thanks for the help!

I had a sunbrella cover made that weighs 75 lbs. I put it on the roof
with a fork lift and never took it off the bus. I found a canvas
cargo bag at pepboys to store it ontop when traveling. I pull up the
sides then roll the front to the center where the bag is then roll in
the back. It take 15 min to uncover. Cover was just under a grand
and bag was around 40 bucks. Maybe what you need is nursery netting
for the roof.

Dru I have posted this is the past and what I use and its fairly
resemble is a Costco Car Shelter. I would have used two units put
together end to end but I do not have the room for this configuration.

The only reason I used only one was because I did not have enough
room for the second cover as it would have extended into my driveway.

I used 10 ft electrical conduit pipes cut in haft to make 5 ft and
then after putting up the cover I just slid the 5ft pipes into each
leg of the car shelter. And then I slid the original pipes up till
they were around 4 to 5 ft oft the ground. This made it about 12
high on the sides and about 14 ft in the middle. It really worked
out great for me and at a cost of a little over 150 dollars its
pretty cheap to construct. I have had no wind problem with it blowing
over or anything like that as it is staked into the ground with the
original ground pads. On the ends since I my motor home extends past
the shelter I just used a heavy tarp to add the proper length so it
was protected in that area.

As far as how long the material will last? I have had a few of these
shelters and they seem to last about five years. I think when its
time to recover this unit I will just get a large tarp and then just
recover the whole thing.

Works good and keeps the old Rebel Bird cool and dry under my cheap
little car port.

Here's a picture of the shelter cover up but the sides have not been
installed yet.
