Anybody Covering Their Wanderlodge?

[Bill Garamella]

Ernie, Gary and others,

This is my first year with the cover, I estimate it weighs roughly 35 to 40
pounds. It
came in a nice duffle bag. Roughly 40" x 30" when rolled up and will fit loosely
into one
of the rooftop pods.

Before I covered the coach just after Thanksgiving, I washed and waxed it. It
was put
away clean. I have been watching it over the winter and it is not difficult to
open sections
because there are access points around the entire coach. Panels can be rolled
and
secured with velcro; front, rear and forward and aft on both sides. Today I was
out there
and examined it for damage.... the interior of the cover is soft if it did
anything to the
paint at all there is no indication. The coach is clean and shinny like the day
I waxed it.
If I left it out in the elements without a cover, I would be washing and waxing
it again
this spring.

So there you have one mans experience and something good to report about the
cover. If
these things were so bad, why would companies that make them remain in business
year
after year?

If these things were damaging paint jobs, I suspect there would be some sort of
product
liability issues out there. I can find none.

I know there are different types of covers out there, perhaps I got a good one.
This
subject is running on Randy's site too and I posted a photo of it earlier today

Perhaps I am just a naive newbie, but I'm glad I have the cover.

Thanks - Bill
