Anybody Covering Their Wanderlodge?

[Jack & Donna Smith]

After getting the Bird painted, we were going to get a cover for it,
but procrastanation keept popping up.. Finally I found one on
Craigslist that looks good. It fits a 34' coach, so should be big
enough for our FC31. It is a heavy sucker...Seller said he would
strech it out on ground and fold sides in on top, and then roll it up
in a neat roll. To install, he said to get on top of coach, and roll
it out from front to back, then pull sides down. (Dont sound Easy)!!
Guess the CB and Radio antennas will have to go...
