FR3 Cover

Anyone recommend a good cover that we can purchase for the 30DS?

Also, does anyone know if there is a weight limit to the read ladder? Our dealer told us it was 150 lbs.

Thanks

I think I read somewhere that they are able to hold 250 to 300 lbs. Do not know about a cover sorry. All I know it should be able to breath.

I use the cover that I had for my class C motorhome. It is for a 31 foot and fits the 30DS, although it is a bit short on the sides. I mostly wanted the roof covered so all is good.

ADCO has some very good covers. I had one on my TT and plan on buying one for the FR3. They breath very well and I never had any mold on the TT. You can purchase at camping world.

I purchased the ADCO 32825 31.1 FT - 34 FT, from AMazon @ $390. Nice cover, but way too big. They have one that's 29.1 Ft - 32 Ft, P/N 32815 at $356.

Hey grotto69, do you have this cover (ADCO 32824)? Just curious since the FR3 30DS is 31'4" to the rear of the ladder, will it fit since it's for a 28'-31'. I think most covers have a little extra in the overall size but, I'd like to know before I lay out the $$$.

This is what I wanted to do, but the Mrs will never approve such a purchase. If you don't mind me asking, how much does something like this cost?

Just under $3500.00 for the RV port with anchors because its so tall, then they guarantee it to stand for 20 years.
