I just got one from Camping World for my 32ft trailer. the new ones are far better than the old ones. the old one lasted me 5 years. I paid $250 for mine.
Excellent product!

Anyone use one of these covers on a Roo 19. I measured this weekend and I am 17' excluding the spare tire and tanks. The smallest cover is over 20 feet long. I am concerned that there will be too much material to take up.

I got the 20 ft one for my Roo19 last October, item #49122. I sort of had it centered front to back, which had a lot in the back. I put it over the spare tire, but still had a lot left over. This year I pulled it forward, with the thought that I'd go over the propane tanks. But when I did, I wasn't thrilled, because there's a lot of cover between the tanks and the front of the camper that would catch a lot of snow, so I didn't go over the tanks. (This happened with the spare tire last year.) All that being said, I'm not so sure the 18 ft one would fit. I guess if you're sure you can return it if it doesn't fit, you could give it a try.
I also got tire covers, #32119. They're a little big, too, but not bad.

Does one cover both the radio antenna and the TV antenna with a mat (or what??) before putting on the RV Cover

I didn't. All I did was loosen the radio antenna so it would sit flat on the roof. There is some space created by the A/C and my front fan vent covers, so I'm guessing the Adco cover doesn't make too much contact with the TV antenna.

I use bubble wrap on anything that protrudes or that may rub a hole in the cover! This includes all corners (upper and lower), awning ends, sewer vent and antennas (the parts that stick up the highest).

I covered the antenna with an old door mat and wrapped the main part of the TV antenna with the ladder cover since my Coachman does not have a ladder. My new cover came with 4 little draw string pouches for the downspouts but I might need to put the pool noodles on a couple of them so they do not poke through.
I did get the patches with mine, hopefully I will not need them.
NOTE: Buy from Amazon for the same price as Camping world. Free shipping WITHOUT TAX. ($25 for my model cover)

Pulled mine out of the box and unrolled it to re-roll it for install. Found huge cut in fabric. Well, that explains why this was an open box.
Idiots.
Camping World has to order one from another store for me.
Bummer.

Update: Took advantage of the dry, 55 degree weather yesterday to pull my Roo out of hibernation. Happy to report the Adco cover worked perfectly. Camper was as clean as when I put it away in November, and no apparent damage or scuffing of any type to the sides or decals etc.
Folding it up wasn't too bad either. I took the time to neatly roll up all the straps (used velcro for that) first, then I lifted all 4 corners of the cover onto the roof, followed by the sides. From there I rolled the cover up from front to back. I was then able to get it all stuffed back into the Adco back pretty easily (did that part on the ground!)

That's great news Tom! We bought an 07 Roo and just washed her yesterday for the first time. Unfortunately, the previous owners must not have covered it because decals are pretty much peeling off. Too bad...when you invest so much into an RV, it's a small price to pay to preserve it! I will look into Amazon about purchasing one for ours! Happy Camping!!

You said you got the cover on in 15 mins. I just put it on our new Roo yesterday with help and it took longer than that.
Did you get up on the roof? And did you follow instructions or do it a different way. All tips help. Taking the cover off Thurs to pack for weekend trip.

Yes, I've been on my roof a bunch of times to wash it and also to put the cover on (and also to take it off, which took 10-15 minutes)
When I installed it, I first walked to each edge to install tennis balls on the downspouts and also one on the awning release lever. I also had to drop the radio antenna flat on the roof.
Then I unpacked the cover more or less in the center of the roof. Lucky enough I had it oriented the right way on the first try, so it was just a matter of stretching it out and getting it to fall down each side. Once in place, just had to walk around to cinch up the adjustable straps.
Install it without getting on the roof would definitely take a lot longer, particularly getting it over all vents, the A/C, etc.

Yes - no savings usually at the end of the day.

Anything shipped up here to Canada by courier will be very expensive. A $30 item at CW will cost at least that much to ship up here.
USPS is a lot less expensive and you can avoid duty and brokerage fees - but they often take a little longer.
Dave, you're lucky to be able to have someone bring it back up with them. That's a big savings I'm sure.
