Congratulations! We have had a fiver now for about 4 years. Our cover works really great and with a little practice, I can have it covered or uncovered in about 15 minutes. Enjoy it, it will help keep your rig nice and clean and help protect the exterior a lot. Happy camping! - Eric-

Anxious to see your pictures. We have a new fifth wheel also and want to keep in shinny. Let us know how hard it is to use.

Good move on the cover! It's a very smart move. I always laugh when I see a rig that's 2or 4 years old that looks like it's 20 becuse it's never gets covered.
Also on this subject...we have always covered our rigs. From pop up to the new 5er. However since I am C H E A P! I am still using the cover from our old 32ft Bounder. It dosent have that form fit in the front of a 5er cover. But it works great and allows me to slide the MC trailer under the 5er's front and cover it as well. I do have to say that this will most likely be the last winter we use and becaus it's 5 years old now. So....I'm gonna have to buy a new one for next year.

Just got our cover this week and did a test fit and it fit perfectly, but sure the winter will tell how it holds up. Kind of a job to put on weighs 41# and a lot of material.

You will want to be sure to strap it down and have it snuggly wrapped around the rig. This will keep it from blowing off or tearing in a windy situation. Enjoy the cover. Happy camping! - Eric-

I'm thinking he has a hardcover (e.g. carport) and not a bag. How else do you "get it installed but can't wait to use it"? I could be wrong however.

In any event, we pay for covered storage and wouldn't be without it. And after literally baking our pop-up, I'll never put another bag on any RV again.
