I have a new 2008 Jayco 32BHDS and would like to buy one of the nice storage covers that fit around the trailer and then zip up. I have been on the Camping World website and am trying to determine which one will fit the best. If anyone has bought one for this trailer or similar I would love to get some feedback on which fit and work the best. I am in the Pacific Northwest so the trailer will be exposed to quite a bit of rain during the winter. Thanks for your help.

I did a search on this awhile back & it seems to me that the covers may be more trouble than they're worth. Others have reported that corners, edges, etc. tend to wear through or tear the cover. The trouble of putting them on and taking them off would be a factor for me too. In a humid climate, I'm not too sure they would breathe that well. Finally, I don't like the idea of having to always crawl up on top of the trailer. As soon as I recover financially from my TT purchase, I'm going to look into the steel carport things to keep mine under. I don't know if that would work for you, but I live in a rural area where they are not prohibited.

I have one, bought the size for 30 to 32 feet, My "box" is 30 feet. It is kind of oversized but I can cinch it with the provided eyelets and I am happy with the protection it gives. I agree it's a pain in the derriere, but I have worked out a method at this point to install it and remove it.
If I had my choice I'd get one of those carport deallies.

I wouldn't buy one of those as described. Very difficult to install and remove; lots of material. Also, I think you run the risk of moisture generation and the problems associated with that.
We cover the top and some of the sides with a Sunshield tarp and hold it down with bottles of RV antifreeze.
For more information search this Forum for RV Cover.

Thanks for the feedback. I am not to concerned with them being difficult since I will only put it on in the fall and remove it in the spring. My trailer sits at a seasonal site even during the winter. I am just trying to keep it clean over the winter. Any ideas on which cover from Camping World is better?

We bought the ADCO SFS Aqua-Shed for our 27BH Jayco. It measured 25 in length (Box length only). Our current 314BHDS Jayco Eagle, similar to the OP's 32BHDS, measures 31 feet tip to tail of the box. We will buy another SFS for it this winter.

Just be sure you pad the corners as they will rub the cover and thus allowing wear at those points.

Just keep in mind the cover will only last a few years. Over time the "car port" would probably be cheaper than replacing covers every 4 or 5 years. I'm building a port when I can.
I use one of those chemical air dryers inside the trailer during storage. They work great.
