Bumper covers under cover?

Does anyone know if there is a pre-formed cover for the square bumper that houses the sewer Hosea? I want to protect my cover from those sharp corners. Thanks. Jim

When I put my Adco cover on, there wasn't enough play to put the rear bumper under it. Wasn't concerned to cover it.

Get a hollow pool noodle and split it lengthwise, cut it to the length you need, wrap it around the end of the bumper securing with duck tape. One noodle should give you enough to do both ends of the tube. If you do it right then you will be able to slide it off and reuse next winter.

Also use sections of pool noodle on your downspouts and any other corners you think may cause a tear or rip.

Mark all the corners with chalk or soap and take it to a canvas shop and have them sew in vinyl reinforcements. This is done with boat covers all the time. Putting pool noodles and other devices on sharp points is a pain. Do this same thing with all sharp points on your rig.

Last winter we used styrofoam pieces around the bumper. This year we are trying lunch meat plastic containers taped to each end of the bumper.
