Want to buy a cover for the Barth. It stays in Tennessee most of the time. Any advice?

These covers are some of the best around, but are not inexpensive. I have a semi-custom cover from them and have used it for three years. I does a very good job, doesn't scratch the coach and breathes to relieve moisture. The door is matched to my Regency and is very useful for getting in and out during the winter.

I've read on other RV forums that motorhome covers are not a good idea in general. They move around when the wind blows, hold in moisture, and can leave markings or other damage on the surface and roof. I'm sure some of those problems can be avoided with a higher-quality cover as Bill G mentioned, just depends on where you want to spend you money. Wink

Another option may be window covers. Mine are made of a special fabric that allows a surprising amount of light in yet cuts the UV rays way down. They snap on and off in minutes, and I clean them with awning cleaner a couple times a year. Unfortunately, they came with the coach so I have no idea where they came from.
