Roo 21ss cover

Any suggestions on a cover? I'd like to get a reasonably priced cover for my 21ss. Which brand and size do you use?

I have a 233S, got an ADCO52241 Designer Series SFS Aqua Shed from Amazon. I'm sure they'd have one for your model as well. Amazon was the best price. Free shipping if you're a prime member. I'm happy with it so far.

My dealer (in Canada) advised against covering our RV (hybrid) - with cover options available, why ?

I covered my Roo 19 for 3 yrs. With the leaking bunk ends issues, I figured it was better to have a cover than no cover. Had an ADCO.

Also have a cover on my Mini Lite.

I bought the adco. I'm mildly impressed with the quality and guessing it will last a year or 2...better than nothing I guess

ADCO? Maybe... but trust your gut

I just purchased an ADCO cover. 1st Camper / 1st Cover.

I did lot's of research on this forum and online and wanted a good cover at a reasonable price. I settled on the ADCO Tyvek + Wind #34841 for my Shamrock 23IKSS.

I am NOT 100% happy with my ADCO cover. One reason is my fault and the other reason is design. Maybe the second reason is my fault too if someone can tell me I installed it incorrectly.

I measured my rig three times and determined I needed a 22-24' cover. But I read many posts from other IKSS users who claimed the 20-22' "fit like a glove". So that is what I purchased. My 20-22' barely covers half of the rear bumper. That mistake is on me... I should have trusted my gut.

The second thing I don't like is the fact that the cover does not go all the way down over the sides. Over time the sun is going to fade the exposed plastic that is not covered. I see that as a design flaw unless someone can tell me I made a mistake installing it.

I used 1" pipe insulation to over the handles, latches and antenna. I used 3/4" pipe insulation to cover the rain gutters. I tied a zip tie snug so the insulation stays put, but can easily be removed and reused without having to cut the zip tie.

Here are some pics and video to enjoy. Have Fun and good luck with your decision.
Ron

Thanks for the pictures I was wondering how to protect the cover from the antenna and other jagged objects. I ended up putting tennis balls on the gutters and had the cover on for 2 days without them... Almost had 4 holes in the cover after 2 days! 😠

Idk maybe it's a manufacturer defect. I have a 233s and the 20-22 cover fit perfectly. I also used the pipe insulators.
