Cover for Thunderbolt 425

I am trying to find a cover for my 2016 XLR Thunderbolt 425 when I look on line the longest I have found was 41 feet and when I measure it is closer to 43 feet does anyone have an exact measurement of the length? I would have hoped that Forest River would have put the correct numbers on their web page instead of TBA.

You have to take your own measurement. The web page lists mine as 42.5 feet and it's really 44.5. That said, most standard size covers top out shorter than that and custom made ones that are long enough are huge money. I opted to skip it altogether because of so many horror stories about covers ruining the finish of the RV due to wind and rubbing. Many others have reported very short life span of even very expensive covers.

How do you protect yours during the winter months or when not I use?

I didn't really want to leave mine out all winter either, but I couldn't find a stock cover big enough to fit the beast (395amp). The biggest Adco makes is for a max of 43.6', which is about a foot too short. So I threw a coat of wax on it and shed a tear for it when I see it covered in snow.

I did find a place on line that makes them up to 46 feet long. I will do a little research and post what I find.
