Mine survived it's 1st winter and looks like I just took it out of the box. From reading the posts, proper fit (like exact), and covering those sharp edges are a must. I must admit that mine is at the bottom of a hill in my yard and see's very little wind.
I missed getting a picture of one thing I saw this winter. Someone had taken that plastic wrap that companies use to wrap pallets, and wrapped their entire trailer with it. Priceless photo. It only lasted about a month and started coming apart. Well maybe next year.

My ADCO cover has gone through 4 winters so far and still in good shape.

In addition to all the good comments there is one more reason. When the cover comes off the tt looks just like it did when I winterized it. No bird droppings or other hard to clean problems. We keep it at a cg in northwestern pa and this was a particularly hard winter so I couldn't even get to it for months. As far as cost...think about it. 200 bucks for 2 years. That's 27 cents a day. I have a week's worth sitting on my dresser right now.

I had an Adco...lasted 2 years and the tears began....paper thin garbage as far as I'm concerned...then I decided to buy my last one...stepped up to a Goldline and wow what a difference! Pricey but I won't need to replace it...almost like canvas...weighs a lot too.

Know folks who have ADCO , they don't hold up to Chicago winters.
I've had one for 3 yrs on my Roo in Rockford. Still looks great. The only problem is sharp stuff like gutter extensions and awning levers. Make sure you put tennis balls on them.

I've got a winter cover and is not any kind of material. I store or in a metal building that has concrete floors at the fairgrounds. No elements at all throughout the winter and inexpensive to store. Check your state fairgrounds and see what they offer. We started with an Adco cover. It was expensive and I wasn't impressed. Rips and tears like many others have mentioned

Attachment 73592I just put the ADCO cover on my trailer. I hope it is worth it. It was a pain in the butt to get on my trailer and I was a little disappointed with how thin the fabric felt. I hope it lasts.

You should be taking it OFF, not putting it ON, this time of year!

I am going on 3 years now with my ADCO designer series. The most important thing you can do is cover all sharp edges. I use foam pipe wrap (pool noodle) for downspouts, steps, corners, antenna. Love my ADCO!

Are ADCO covers worth the price?

Only if you don't get high winds. Dealer suggested cover for my new tracer. Two short trips and put it away last fall. side facing the wind now always looks dirty from an angle. Cover will beat up the sides in high wind. Also, the gutter run offs and several other parts of the trailer have already poked holes in the cover, even with the socks on the extended cover. One use, 5 months on and 4-5 holes to patch. Will only cover the roof in the future. $400 and the cover will collect dust and insects in the shed.

It is on for the summer to protect it from the sun. It won't be getting used much this summer because my wife is pregnant.
