Getting back to covers...........we have a Classic Accessory cover for our 190.  It's on it's second year and ripped on the top from front to back.  Only used it for the winter months.  I filed a claim with Classic on the 3 year warranty and am waiting for their decision to replace.  Stay tuned.

That sucks for your topper to rip so fast, they are one of the better reviewed one.  Did you have the PolyPro or the PermaPro?

speaking of using a torque wrench on the lug nuts, what size are the nuts.  I have read anywhere from 19-21 mm.  I want to have one before I pick it up.

Thanks!

Yes, congratulations.  This baby is so easy to tow and easy to modify.  My wife and I love ours after pulling around much larger trailers for a lot of years.  Everything is easy about this little bug!!

We purchased a new R-Pod 190 about a month ago (with all the warranties as well)... I did all this research before my wife an I went to a dealership.. and the RPOD (for several years running) is the best small RV on the market... so far we love it and can't wait to get it on the road!!

I have a 2019 R-Pod 190 10th Anniversary edition. I highly recommend the cover if parking under a tree, as some have mentioned. I would use it anyway regardless to protect the roof from the elements. I keep it on the RV all the time when I'm not using it, except a few days before and after a trip with it.
 
The "Classic Accessories" PolyPro 3 "OverDrive" is an excellent product. It fits the trailer like a glove, and won't blow off in high winds or move around much, minimizing tearing. Be sure to cut foam "noodles" and slip them over the rain gutters and any other sharp corners. I put duct tape on the inside of every corner where it rubs, mostly at the bottom - all four corners. The zippered door makes it very easy to get in if you need to while covered. And it is vented. I've never seen moisture trapped under it. The top has reinforcement material (a heavier canvas-like material as opposed to the rest of the poly fabric) that repels tree sap and debris, and gives added strength and protection from sun as well. A very well designed product. And I always remove the TV antenni when I put it on or they will point out too much and become stressed under the weight. They easily unscrew.

Does anyone see an advantage with going with the 50A Hughes Autoformer instead of the 30A (outside of the lower cost)?
