I know this has been beat to death, but other than personal preference, is there any advantage to a set of single tire covers versus a dual cover? The costs are virtually the same.

I bring this up because my Jayco fiver has a fender that extends down in between the tires. It's certainly far out enough back to not hit the cover when installed, but seems like it would get in the way when trying to put on/take off the cover. Anybody have problems like this?

My fender extends down a bit between the tires but I opted for the dual covers anyway. Even with the added adjustments to get it under the fender, it's still easier then putting on four seperate covers in my situation.

I have a triple axle and use a double and a single on each side. My fender also hangs down and does create a small challenge to putting the double on. In fact the fender has tore both doubles. I guess the test is, when I replace will I buy singles or doubles again. Doubles!

It seems to me that using what is most convenient would be the better choice. You'd be a lot more apt to use a product that was convenient.
