Can anybody recommend a cover for a 2014 171 that will fit the pod. The pod has an AC unit and the last cover we bought did not fir. TIA

I bought one of these

Not made for the Pod but thought for the price it was worth a try. should be able to drape over entire unit then maybe stake the sides or corners down.   Plus the camo hoping to help hide from neighbors view as it sits under trees in shadows.

We have a Classic Accessories cover.  Fits like a glove.  Covers A/C, spare tire, slide out awning and awning.

I've had a Classic Accessories cover for the past two years.  Fits very well, you just have to remember to cover any sharp areas, ie.- gutters, antenna, etc prior to installing cover.

We have a Classic Accessories cover and we put a beach towel over the TV antenna, or it will cut the cover.

When we had the bat wing antenna, I cut sections of pool noodle to fit over the wings to protect the cover. Since replacing the bat wing with a flying saucer which does not have sharp edges, I don't need to do that. I still use sections of noodle over the rain gutter spouts over the slide-out to protect the cover there and some other small sections at the bottom corners to protect those areas. I did not put the cover on this winter as I did not have a chance to wash and wax it before the cold weather hit after we brought it home from having the axle replaced. One does need to watch out for anything that could snag the cover as it will tear.

It is in my mods. In a nutshell, the one I ordered fit the existing mount so I could just bolt it on. I had to change the amplifier inside and to a bit of wiring since they were wired differently. Unfortunately, it looks like the one I got is not currently available. I can't say that what applied for the one I got would apply to one of a different brand.
