I don't think this particular RV cover will work. It is probably too short to cover the lower portion of the trailer. Measure your Cardinal body: Length (including the wing), height and width. That will give you the basic size you'll need. There will be a trailer or cargo cover that will be correct. I use the R pod 150 for my canned hams. It is rounded front and rear but fits a 13 foot body. The 170 fits a 15 foot body. I'm thinking something like this may work: www.rvautoparts.com/Adco-Cover-Horse-Trailer-Sfs-Aquashed-101-12-46002_p_3105.html The rear wing will need to be padded, maybe one of those noodle pool toys? Also, the covers aren't water PROOF. They are water "resistant". The white teflon coated roof section more so than Aqua shed. The above cover is for a 12 footer, they sell different sizes. Good luck! |

I think the Compact cover might fit better. The R pod is very rounded and this model allows room for an A/C, at least I think so...
Do some research and find out the body size of each cover. (overall length doesn't tell you much)

Have you considered a small hoop house style shelter, something like this on at Menards: www.menards.com/main/mobile/p-2452209-c-10153.htm?tpt=mobileWith a cover only, I'd worry about heavy snow stressing weak rafters (1x3 rafters laying sidewsys and spanning 7 feet typical) and weakening the putty seals. Or, wind chafing or condensation hurting the exterior finish. If you have room, the hoop building solves those issues. Problem I see is the small end opening. I imagine setting the frame around the camper first, then covering with fabric. |
