I bought one form FR due to the fact it is made from canvas. It will not tear unless you make a real mistake putting it on. We did put it on this year in 5 minutes with one person on each side.

I am surprised that FR would sell canvas covers.  Most covers, tents, etc, today are made of synthetic fabrics due to the weight of canvas and the fact that it becomes moldy or mildewed so easily.

I am on year 3 with my f.r. cover and no mildew problem. I do crack the vent in the bathroom to let some air through. and the cover is not so tight that some air cant move around even though the cover is on.

We purchased the Model 2 cover for our 2014 R Pod as it stated it would fit our 18 ft. R Pod (cover purchased through Amazon). Cover came right away at a great price, but they measure from the ball to the rear of the R Pod. No way could we get it to fit. Called Classic from the storage yard and they said we needed model 3 instead, which covers 20 ft. So going to return the short one and place an order for the larger model 3. Why do they include the footage in the trailer tongue if the cover isn't going to cover the tongue??? Does this make sense to anyone else???? Wanted to get the cover on before the big snow tonight!!

No problem whatsoever with the FR cover for the 178.  Easy on, easy off.

Looks great - we found out from Amazon that we can return the cover and order the 20 ft. size.  Hoped to get it covered before our big snowfall this weekend but guess not!  Trying to get that one on today was like trying to squeeze into too small panty hose - just no way!!! Smile
