Proud owners of the 2012 Tracer Touring Ed

[JoeyO]

Hello Fellow PT Owners,

We went to the Boat & RV Show and decided on the 3150BHD Tracer Touring Edition. We really like the floor plan and the outside kitchen. We opted to get the 5 Yr protection package on the exterior. So no waxing etc? Not certain, but in addition, I was also looking to purchase an Adco Tyvek RV cover.

With the TT sitting in the sun and getting snowed on; reading about seals expanding and contracting with the freeze thaw cycles etc. I thought a cover might be worth the protection while it sits exposed to the elements 6 months out of the year.
Has anyone purchased one of these Adco Tyvek covers?
Was there a cheaper time or place to purchase this?
How long have you had experiance with this cover?

Please share your thoughts or experiance on covers and the exterior coatings that dealers apply to the TT exterior.

Thanks!! joeyo

Congrats JoeyO,
We too just visited show and bought Lacross 318BHS. I have had cover for my Surveyor and seems to do well. I am going to put one of the metal carport roofs up for Lacross to keep it out of sun and rain.
Hey padave65 I notice you have 318BHS also and pulling with Titan in the hills of PA. Have any problems in those hills? I will be pulling ours with 07 Tundra and am a little concerned about the mountains here in north Georgia.

Thanks guys, the toughest part was signing for it and leaving it in their hands till April. Lots to think about, such a big item to have to walk away from.
I'm going to the February RV Show in Rosemont IL to see more of it andmaybe pick up some LED replacement bulbs for the full interior. I heard they have a great show special of lifetime guarantee on replacements...
