 Topic: Best R-Pod cover?Posted: 11 Sep 2020 at 12:23pm |

That's the one I bought to replace my basic grade one that deteriorated. (It lasted 3 years in Florida sun). I'm happy with the new one. I caught a sale at CA and think I only paid $150.

I called Classic and asked which cover offered the most UV protection for my 180. they said the PermaPRO. I found the best price through Walmart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Classic-Accessories-Over-Drive-PermaPRO-Deluxe-Water-Repellent-R-Pod-Cover-Fits-up-to-17-7-long/49930949 |

FYI the "lifetime warranty" cover is not their most expensive. They have three and it is the mid-grade.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I'll go for the "lifetime" warranty with the understanding it will last a couple of years--LOL.

I bought this one and it only lasted 6 months in the Bakersfield sun. Waiting to see what they say about the lifetime warranty, I ask about what cover would hold up better. My Polypro lasted 18 months.

Classic now offers a cover with a lifetime warranty. Its not much more than their basic one, especially if you manage to hit a sale. It's made from a lighter material and really nice.

I answered this on another forum. Classic is the best source, but I have had two in 5 years here in middle TN. They don't last forever.

Hey, Podsters: I had a cover for our 178
for about two years or so, and then the sun turned it to junk. It just
kept ripping and coming apart as I would pull it on or off. We get high
sun and high temps here in the high desert. 90--100 deg. F. all
summer. Is there one brand or another that holds up to heat and UV
better than the others. This is the unit I did use: Am I just out of luck and have to buy one every few years? Thanks. |
