Storage Covers/tarps

longhorn1 · Jun 14, 2015

Has anyone had a custom cover made for their ATC or FWC campers. In the winter I use a full tarp and between trips use a smaller tarp to cover the roof and turn down a foot or so.

Does someone make a custom cover that fits the cabover and has an opening in the back to access the door?

The tarp works, but is a PIA with the slightest wind and takes 2 to get it over and secure.

I am a tarp user, I do put a raised bar down the middle so rain runs off. Last winter I did not take the camper off so no cover.

This might work if you want a fitted cover. Pop-up trailer cover, just tie back the area by the cabover.

Bill, when you say tarp, are you referring to those blue tarps at Lowes and HD sold in various sizes? Thx!

Yes I use the silver tarp, just a little heavier.

Google Calmark Cover Company. According to their website they make custom truck and camper covers. Looks like they will make them to fit your dimensions with door access anywhere you want it.

I called them last year. They quoted me around $700 + tax for a custom made cover.

I'm interested in this as well since I have daily driver, the truck and camper stays on my drive since its too tall for my garage. I do have pretty decent backyard so i was thinking about getting a tent garage shelter for the price of a custom cover.

Holy carp! I didn't realize they would be that expensive. How big was the vehicle that you got the quote for?

This works well on my ATC Cougar.

Thanks Jay.I use a tarp with a spot cutout for the solar but this cover might work better.
I could still cut out for the solar.

I bought one of these:

I have to pull it in tight and hold it with spring clips, but so far it works well. It won't last more than a couple of years I bet, but for now it's helping with keeping the sun off the camper.

Are there any covers that will cover camper and truck? I didn't find any via google beside custom covers. My camper is pretty much full time on my truck. Re-thinking garage shelter idea as the good quality ones that can withstand weather are in the ~$1K.

I"m thinking a class b van cover should work without having to order something custom:

Anyone checked out these Navigloo RV covers? Costco sells their equivalent for boats once a year or so.

Good ideas all. I'd much prefer the cheaper covers. But living in SF and my truck being parked in the street, i think there is some law against having your car under a tarp. between city rules and the homeless, one or the other will cause a headache soon ;-)
