The Amazon.com RPOD cover just went down to $130.65
I had just purchased one for $149+ 4 days ago with free shipping, but they don't due post order price processing I haven't put it on yet but there are 8 4-5 star ratings ... It's lite weight and looks good quality. Comes in TWO SIZES ....

The Northern Tool cover referred to by ReddOrion does fit the R-Pod 177 nicely. The item . is #14653 and the dimensions they list are 190" long, by 78" wide, by 93" high. We just got one recently and my son and I put in on last weekend. I wouldn't want to put it on by myself, however!

Hi and thanks for posting the photos. I didn't think the larger cover would fit the HRE 177 which I have on order and is 18' 8". Any problem getting it on? I may be trying to cover it by myself and it looks like a pretty tight fit. |

My wife helped me put it on so I don't have any 'two hand' experiences. I did see a youtube video where a guy hooked the cover down at the front of the pod and used a long pole to move/roll it to the back. Seemed to work well.

I bought the NT cover for my 2012 iPod .i live and camp by myself am 73 y ,When I put the cover up for the first time I had a hell of a time to slide it over the vehicle ,it took me an hour and 15 little holes from sharp edges I did not know they were there.has any body an easier way to put that thing on,I know 4 hands would make it easier,or I have to design some kind of a gizmo to help.NT cover fits very tight and is of very light material not canvas.Thanks Manrocker

I don't leave the windows open either. I do use the dri-z-aire to help with the moisture. I'm surprised at the amount of water it collects. About a cup in the last month. I probably would keep the windows open if I kept the pod in a garage.

I don't leave the windows open on mine with the cover on, but I do have a Dri-Z-Aire in it that helps absorb excess moisture that may build up.

I have a 172 and bought my cover from Northern Tool. It is perfect ! sized right, fits right and priced right. I leave both windows cracked open about 2 inches and raise the roof vent up about 3 inches.
