Title: Bus covers!
Post by: grantgoold on July 22, 2012, 10:32:21 AM
Looking at putting a cover over the bus this year. Anybody have an opinion? I have the MCI9 with two awnings and a roof mounted satellite. Trying to cover the stainless and windows!

Thanks

I bought a cover for a motorhome in the early 90's. I had it secured very snugly. The action of the wind over the winter rubbed several spots of the paint off.

I now live in South Dakota and am sometimes concerned that the wind might blow the Eagle to Alabama.

You don't say why. Or where. Maybe just some kind of cheap canvas shelter might work better if you would like to keep all the paint.

Have access to a nice cover for about 75% off! Had one for my SS RV several years ago and kept the unit clean and pretty! Just wondering if it is worth the hassle on the bus!

Thanks

Now that we have moved to North Carolina we will have to store our bus outside and I was wondering if a cover would work as well. I have seen nice felt lined covers at Camping World but honestly I don't see how one person could put one over the bus, that's been my worry. (I think the felt lining would protect the paint a little better.)

This is going to be interesting seeing the replies from this question.

Dave, the ADCO cover that I am looking at actually states right on the box that the cover should be considered a two person job!
