Looking at various RV covers / construction and looking for experienced feedback on durability. There seem to be 3 styles (for a singe/dual-axle trailer):
- Sunbrella style or some kind of waterproof fabric
- Tyvek roof and polypropylene sides
- 100% Tyvek
The prices for non-custom covers aren't wildly different... for a 19' body like my 169VRK, they fall in the $300 - $350 range.
I'm leaning toward 100% Tyvek... durable and light. The one in particular is the Covercraft Wolf. I'm a big fan of Covercraft but wanted some feedback.
169VRK body: 228" L x 92" W x ??" H
Wolf CY41040: 243" L x 100" W x 90" H

I have an S2 Expedition cover coming on Friday from National RV Covers... Kinda wanted to go with Tyvek but wasn't too keen on a bright white cover in my driveway. Opted for a gray one. This one has a 3 yr warranty same as Tyvek so it should be durable. I veered away from anything polypropylene. www.nationalrvcovers.com/s2expedition-rv-covers/Travel--Trailer/23.html |

Quick FYI, I was told that covering the hitch will void your warranty, so I am going to exchange for a shorter cover. At least National RV Covers (https://www.nationalrvcovers.com/) is easy to work with! They even send you a FedEx label to ship your cover back to them.

I have to order another since my last one is shot after 18 months. The S2 Expedition covers are out of stock until March 2023. UPDATE: Avoid "Leader Accessories" covers. Conveniently, still under the two-year warranty, they could not find my order number because I ordered it through Amazon and the Amazon order number wasn't good enough. Their "coating" is flaking off and I can poke a hole in it with a finger now. |

Only one or two abraded places where sharp features of the camper have worn the cover but nothing even worth patching at this point. |
