Hi. Not sure if this is the right section to post this, but I am looking for recommendations for a cover to put over my 2507C - it is stored outside in my side yard, and I would like some protection for it. Many thanks, Andy

I have mine stored outside under a canopy like garage

I have thought about using one of those free-standing canopies which are typically about 20 feet by 8 feet? I like the idea of those because there is good air circulation. The fitted trailer covers don't appear to have that feature; if moisture were to get between the cover and the trailer it could create a mold problem, etc. I will have to price one.

I am putting sides and front and rear panels on it this yr. Last yr we got alot of snow and we couldn't find the town until the spring planting season.

I'm in N. California - don't have a snow problem. We have "other" problems, though....

I see Camping World sells a cover made for the Hi-Lo for about $180 - maybe I'll give that a whirl.

Don't waste your money!

The ONLY cover I would recommend is one made of "Sunbrella" fabric. I have one on our 1707T, and it's been in the Tucson sun for three years now. Still looks and feels new. No problem with trapped moisture, because it "breaths" (though we don't really get a lot of rain here). Camping Wold sells these too - and or course they cost a lot more. But, they fit very nicely. I'll try to take a picture of ours tomorrow and post it.

We also have Sunbrella outdoor furniture and it has held up beautifully.

Hurray! My rapidly fading brain cells functioned for once and I remembered to post pictures.

The cover is made by Adco and is made of Sunbrella fabric. The fabric is very sturdy and has not ripped or been cut at all during installation or removal. It shows no sign of deterioration in the Tucson sun. It is secured to the trailer by three straps that pass underneath, but I find I don't need to use the center strap at all.

It has a zippered door opening you might just be able to see that I use all the time for inside access. To raise the top, I just release the end strap buckles and lift the corners of the cover up over the corners of the trailer. This raises the "hem" enough that it won't catch on the bottom half of the trailer and I can just leave it in place when I raise the top.

Thanks Jack! That's a good referral. We get rain for about 2 to 3 months of the year, and a breathable fabric would be good. Mostly, the trailer sits on the south side of our house and gets a lot of sun. Apparently CW has a sale on right now, so the timing is good (an early Xmas present!)

Hello,
If you order a cover, make sure you measure your trailer for the proper fit. I just bought a 1998 Towlite 24 footer. The seller gave me the one year old ADCO cover he bought. When I installed it, there was at least 4 or 5 feet extra length to it. I'm betting when he ordered it, he said the trailer was 24 feet, when in fact, the trailer body only measures around 19 feet. The rounded corners of the cover hang way off the trailer on each end, but I'm using it. Better too long than too short, I suppose.

Hi Jim -

Sorry, I didn't notice your question until just now. In fact I HAVE checked the temperature but I cannot give you exact figures. I know it stays cooler DOWN with the cover on than UP with the cover off (by at least 10 degrees as I recall). I have a digital thermometer inside and I always look at it whenever I go into the trailer.

Anyway, my guess is the inside is cooler because the windows do not open on the interior with the top down and, the cover does provide extra "shading" all over. How much of the effect is due to the cover is not clear to me.
