RV cover for cruise lite 195BH

Has anyone put on an RV cover? Do you have to get on the roof? Can the roof be walked on? I'm a rookie and don't know.

dont know about the cover but have been on my roof several times. just installed some vent covers and checked the caulking. i mainly just crawled around when i get up there because it just feels safer, (i dont care for heights)

Heard sometime ago that the type of roof (rubber coat) may dictate if you can. I would call your dealer service department to find out.

I have a 2014 model of the 195bh and the specs on the website list "walkable roof".
I also got a cover but haven't taken it out of the package yet. I couldn't imagine how you would put it on without getting on the roof.

I've been on mine with no ill effects. What size cover do you buy? I measure the box at 18' but FR says it's 21.5', what do I buy?

I'm guessing that FR might be including the back bumper or the A frame in front.

Got the cover on and it fits fairly well. Of course a cover that would fit 18'-20' travel trailers is gonna be a little large in certain places but it has plenty of adjustments to take up the loose areas. The quality looks excellent.

It wasn't too bad. I got on the roof and the misses helped pull down the sides. One person could do it but it wouldn't be fun.

Ive got a very similar version of your tt and Im getting ready to put a cover on it for the first time. Hopefully I wont have to climb on the roof. Not crazy about that.

According to ADCO covers you measure from the rear bumper to the front of the tt but not the hitch or propane or battery.

We are in a seasonal cg and the owner winterizes for us at 1.75 per foot. I'm having him put the cover on this year but don't know yet how much he'll charge to do it.
