I am looking for the best cover for the 176t, I have heard the one from nothern tool is great, it just looks a little thin for our canadian winters. Does anyone have any information on this cover or any others?
Thanks

Ours is from NT.. it's on it's 3rd winter. It feels the same as the one I put on the Mustang, it's on it's 5th winter. Now.. our winters are wet, but mild(ish), and we only cover for 3 months or so..

We just purchased a cover for our 178.  Too new to review but it looks good. Smile

Hi - we just had the walk through of our new 178, but haven't yet picked it up (still too wintry here) - where did you get that nice 178 cover?  We will need one soon!  Very excited to start Podding!  LOL

I bought one from Forest River.  It is made of canvas by an awaning shop in Indiana.  Very sturdy.

This was our second winter since buying the Pod (177 HRE). We bought a cover from "The Northern" right up front. I screwed up putting it on last year and tore a tiny hole in it - - a little duct tape and it was good as new. Second full winter now and have zipped up the door and checked inside at least once a month. Have a little ceramic heater inside keeping it from a hard freeze. We live in Wyoming and our Pod is next to the garage plugged into shore power 24/7. Peeked at the sides of the Pod when I had the door unzipped and it is clean and shiny. Our winter (temps and winds) are rough and I believe the cover is more than worth the investment.

When using that, I certainly hope you're going to pad-out the corners/edges and really tie that down nice and tight.  Otherwise, that's going to scuff the hell out of that paint-job, especially along all the edges.

Yeah    ...I use strips of those foam beach "noodles" on all corners and sharp spots.
