We covered our previous Laredo fifth-wheel with an ADCO Designer Series cover. We like it so much that we bought another, larger one when we moved up to our 2014 Sanibel 3501 this year. While the cover did experience some minor rips and tears over the winter months....it did the job!

I purchased the ADCO #32857 - which apparently fits units 37'1" - 40' in length. In fact, I intend to cover our trailer tomorrow. Our Sanibel 3501 specs out at 39'2". The cover should fit OK. It might be a bit tight for your 3600 which apparently is 40'2" in length. I can always get back to you after I install my cover to let you know whether or not there's any room to spare!

Our Sanibel 3600 measured at 40 feet from the pin to the rear of the camper. It did not include the ladder or the front portion of the camper ahead of the pin. Our Sanibel 3600 is a total of 43 feet long. I am very interested in how the cover works out for you on your Sanibel.

Heard about the Goldline product after I bought my second ADCO cover....sounds interesting. I nevertheless was satisfied with my first ADCO cover. Will let you know how things went covering our new Sanibel.

Called national discount covers. They said that the Sanibel 3600 is 22 inches too tall for their covers and they do not have a cover that will accommodate the rounded front end.

Could you measure your 3500 Sanibel from the extreme front of the nose to the rear of the ladder? Is there enough slack in that cover for the extra foot in length of the 3600 Sanibel?

I haven't measured the exact length of our 3501. What I can say at this time is that there was only a couple of inches of length in the material once the cover was installed on our unit. I doubt that this particular large ADCO cover will fit your 3600 if you need an extra foot!
