RV Cover

[pjcd]

I have had RV covers in the past, they seem to last about 2 - 3 years before they're toast. I saw this company, "Calmark Cover Company" and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. They claim to have a 6 year warrantee.

Run a quick search on the forum using Calmark as the search term. You'll get some threads with info on those. (and other covers as well)

I ordered a custom cover for my 21BHS from them last week. Should take about 5 weeks to get it. All the reviews I could find were positive so we pulled the trigger. $693 plus shipping. Think we are just in it at under $750.

sent the the dimensions on their sheet and they asked for several pictures of sides, top and back ends. They guys in manufacturing wanted the pics to make sure they laided it out right.

We wanted one that would last so we paid the price for the warranty and the Sunbrella fabric. Paid 28K for the trailer so this is nothing if it protects it for years to come.

I agree with you whole heartedly, I would like to get one, but I might just buy a cheap one for this winter.

Finally received our cover and the fit is good. Winter storm coming this week so camper is done for season.

Looks like you got the measurements just right! Nice.

Next time just take a Sawzall to the top of the door frame in that garage and you'll be golden.  P-)

The only reason there is even a garage door there is for future resale. I built it as my woodworking shop so the door had no value except that we did not know if we were going to retire here so reselling kicked in. Have a nice pool table just behind it though. Kinda nice to open it in the summer and shoot a few rounds.

1 last story. When I went to buy the door I was looking for an insulated steel door. When I told the guy at the counter the dimensions he asked me if I wanted to buy a wood door. Knowing the price I said heck no. He the proceeded to tell me one of his salesmen had ordered 3 wood doors with the wrong dimensions. Mine is 10 wide and 8 tall. The salesman was supposed to order 8 wide and 10 tall but ordered my size. Long story short I got a beautiful wood door for the same price I would have paid for a steel door.

So here we are, its March, how has your cover held up? I bought a cheap one and its still on the trailer,,, 8^)
Its got a couple of tears, nothing that some Gorilla tape didn't fix, I think i'll get at least two more winters out of it.

It has done a good job and held up well. I had the 4 back corners I was worried about but they gave me several extra pieces of fabric and glue to re-enforce those areas which I did. So far so good.
