Hi everyone! Does anyone have any ideas on where I can find a storage cover for my 2011 182G?

Welcome to the group!  Have you tried a Pod dealer?

I read on this forum that the cover sold by Northern Tools for $149. works but I looked at the dimensions and it says the length of the cover is 13 feet.  I didn't think R=Pods came in a 13 foot model.  The dealer wants over $600 bucks?  So I'm trying to confirm if the National Tool Cver will fit an 182G.

By the way you may have seen us out there.  We just completed an over 8000 mile road trip across the US lasting 2 months.

I note that my new fall Cabela's catalog shows a cover on an R-Pod.. Says they have two sizes, 13 and 15 feet.. A quick measurement of our 177 seems to be close to 15ft for the body..

I'll have to measure the body only then.  When we crossed Lake Michigan on "The Badger" it measured 20 feet from hitch to back end.  Had problems with it though: air conditioner wiring was bad a caused problems with cooling the thing.  Had to take thermostat off the wall and move the hard wire around to get it going.  Initially I thought te thermostat was bad, replaced that but same problem.  Bent axle blew out the driver side wheel bearings in the Payette Mountains in Idaho, almost set the thing on fire, running lights on the fender of the same tire where blowing out from Idaho East.

It's been at the dealer since we got back on Thursday of last week.

  If you are ok with cammo, they have one listed on that same page for $300.  But I would buy a generic cover for much less.

None of the generics that I've seen appear to fit a 182G.  Would love to hear info to the contrarySmile

The large one from Northern Tool apparently fits other models of Rpod snuggly and well from what I've read elsewhere. 
Considering that I would not think the larger Northern Tool one would be able to fit the 18xx models.

Here's our solution to covering our 182G - see that red barn behind the truck? Works like a charm!Approve
