Cover for 2720SL

05-24-2010, 10:25 PM

Greetings all,

After a long search online I just wanted to let you all know I got a really good cover for my 2720SL. Since I live in Las Vegas I needed a cover with a lot of UV protection so I got this Tyvek cover from Camping World and it fits really good. Lets see how it holds up in the extreem heat of Southern Nevada. Here is the link.

I need something for moist, humid climates that can hold up to wind too.
I have a (whats left of) adco cover, that is basically worthless at this point.
It lasted maybe 1 season. I guess if I want it covered I will just have to build a garage for it. Any other suggestions.

I have heard that Sunbrella is really the ultimate material for this sort of thing. Very UV resistant as well. I don't have any direct experience with it other than as a bimini top for a small boat, but it has held up extremely well in that application. It's been in service for over 20 years, but the boat is in the garage when not in use.

I have read good things about these folks (but haven't used them):

They make Sunbrella covers, and they are made domestically.

Wow! What happened to your ADCO? What material did you buy? I seem to recall that they have three. I don't think any cover will stand up to abrasions on sharp corners, especially if it is oversized and floppy, or poorly tied down so the wind can worry at it. But other than that, mine has been great. Inland Maine is often humid and sunny in the summer, but nothing like MS, I suppose.

Yup, that's the one I have. And mine did accumulate some holes over the course of 3 or 4 years, but nothing like you describe. I can tell you that the tough spots for causing wear are the TV antenna on the roof, and the sharp (!) corners and edges associated with the swing tongue. As I recall, the other areas that I worried about - the airco and the roof vents - were not a problem. Oh, the license plate and its holder have some sharp edges. But I cinched up the 3 underbody straps really well. And I ran a continuous length of rope around the bottom of the cover through the grommets, taking a turn through the lift bars and the foot stirrups to help hold it down, and it seemed to do pretty well. I'm sorry to hear it didn't do as well for you.

I think it was B_and_D that experimented with padding, and found some good solutions. One way or another, padding is needed at the sharp points. If I get another one, I will pay MUCH more attention to padding. No fabric can stand up to those sharp edges and knife points.

I would have been happy with 3 to 4 years. I think I have had it about a year now, but have not had it covered since January due to all of this.

So even though it says to 18", still fits? Interesting. I need to buy a cover for my new-to-me 2720SL.
