I have a 2003 Lance 845 with the extened cabover sleeping area. I have been looking for a cover online. (I know a tarp is cheaper and I have used one for the past 3 years but wanted to upgrade this year.) My problem is all the covers I see online look like they are for a regular sleeping compartment and not for the extended sleeping area. Has anyone ordered one for their 845 with the cab over and if so can you give me the source?
Thanks!

How much are you willing to spend? ADCO has the exact measurements for my Eagle Cap 850 and is ordered as a custom cover. Being you have a Lance, I would be willing to bet they have a lot of customs available. My triple layer Tyvek was $400.

Calmark Sunbrella in Oxnard CA. is the best, they will have take specific measurements and custom make it for you. I have one and it is great. The adco covers last a season or two, maybe. I'm in Arizona.

True of the old and off the shelf covers. Not true of the new design and customs. ADCO also sells a Sunbrella model. I'm sure Calmark is a great cover but don't compare the Calmark $500 cover to the ADCO $200 cover.

A Marine or Auto canvas guy would make one with Sunbrella. I do this and made one for myself. Slide or non slide doesn't matter.
My Sunbrella cover has lasted over 8 years now and is still like new.

The full mooring cover was made by me as well..back in 1992 and is still strong..

Your timing is good. Two months ago I purchased a Calmark Custom Cover for our 2005 Lance 845. From order to delivery was 3 weeks. Great cover so far, and it has a 6 year non-prorated warranty. Our previous cover (Explorer) did not last one year in the N. CA weather. While the Calmark Covers are not cheap, if you end up buying 2 or 3 of the cheaper covers you will be at or above the Calmark price.
