Hi All, The owner of the yard where we were storing our Airflyte decided to move it without our permission. The trailer is fine, but he ruined the cover in the process. We are going to deal with that in due time; more immediately we need a new cover.
We had previously purchased the 19 foot version of this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Deluxe-Shasta-RV-Airflyte-16-Travel-Trailer-Camper-Cover-w-Zipper-Door-Access-/311327421325). However, we were hoping to get the 16 foot version (as pictured in the link. First, it is about 20 bucks cheaper. Second, the 19 foot version had a bunch of extra fabric that would flop around in the wind. However, we are concerned that the 16 foot version would be too tight given the wings.
So, advice? Have you used either? Both? What are your thoughts?
Thanks!
Steven

If you can get six months of use out of an RV cover your living on borrowed time. The sun UV rays just eats up the material. A loose, flapping cover will do more damage than no cover at all. There's a huge difference, both in quality and price in different fabrics.

Yep. The cover will rub all the paint off. No cover is the best way to go.
