Oops. I missed that. The first one has a "limited lifetime warranty" but is only 1 ply. The second has a three year warranty but with a 3 ply roof in white instead of all-over gray. The one I bought is the one with the 3 year warranty. The other costs about $66 more. I guess it would have to be your choice. I'm not sure what the fine print is on the warranty for the first one. I would check that and then decide. Snags and tears from things like the rain gutter extensions or track ends would be things that could happen, but would not be covered as the warranty only covers "a defect in workmanship or materials during the warranty period." I read that as if a seam fails or the material fails and it is not due to something catching or tearing it, then it would be covered. Otherwise, it isn't. There is an old saying, "The devil is in the details," and Classic Accessories does not provide much information as to what would and wouldn't be covered.

We will be using it more when we have an extended pause between trips. I got some pool noodles and cut sections to fit over the antenna wings and over the gutter extensions as well as over the bottom track ends to protect the cover from sharp edges. That should help it last longer.


The first one seems to default to the small, there is a option for a large one that will fit the 180. Thanks for the tips

I don't know which model pod you have, so can't address which(if either) cover will fit.  I will say that we have the classic Accessories cover and it fits our 173 perfectly.  It is high quality and we have used it for about 4 years so far.  In NC, we have so much pollen, oak leaves(staining) and tree sap that I cover the pod  as much as possible

Wondering if any of you have either one of these covers, what you think of them and would you recommend one over the other?

Do you cover your Pod? If not, why? I am a firm believer in covering to protect from harmful UV rays.
