Default Covering our 2720SL in the open configuration

These are pictures of the ADCO cover (PN 228432) we purchased from Camping World (PN 27903) to cover our 2720SL in an open configuration. The Tyvek top option (white) with polypropolene sides (grey) was chosen since we have very intense sunlight in this part of Colorado. In fact the reason we decided to cover our TM was due to the yellowing of the trim parts and failure of plastic parts on the side facing South. It turned out to be a fairly close fit. the ends are designed to be tied so as to constrict and tighten the cover. You may note that the door side has 4 zippered panels to allow access to the door when covered. This is a very handy feature since we store our summer toys inside during the winter months. Since it is not uncommon to experience winds in excess of 55 mph during thunderstorms and the passage of cold fronts, we added the two extra bungie tie downs aroung the trailer. We'll see how it does in these winds. We left the vent open a couple of inches along with the windows in the ends of the trailer open to facilitate ventillation.

Thank you so much for posting these pictures and your experience with the ADCO cover. We always keep our 2720 (not the SL) open. Mostly, our TM just gets dirty sitting out, but the sun and weather do take a toll and a cover should help.

Did you just order the stock cover?

Default Cover for OPEN 2720SL - wind tested

We had winds in excess of 50 mph last night and the cover barely moved...I guess it will be ok....FYI

Cateye, your second photo shows that you have a million dollar vista of the mountains from your home! The trailer is nice also.
