Welcome to the JOF and congratulations on your 17Z. You'll really enjoy it once camping season comes in.

We have a 2010 17Z and really like it. They are great units in a small package.

Nice cover, I may have to invest in one.

The photo shows your curb-side-rear-stabilizer is down (can't see the others). The manual states they should be up when stored.
... nice cover. Who makes that one?
We also have a 2011 x17z, and are very satisfied with it. And we can't wait to go camping either. First you get "cabin fever", and that turns into "spring fever", and the next thing you know camping season is here. I don't think I'm going to wait. I've been inspired by some of the winter camping posts.

The cover is an Expedition purchased from seller on Ebay, seems to be a good quality cover. The stabilizers are down as I have been doing some modifications in the camper, nice thing about the cover is the zippered panels, so you can still get in the door.

Here is the link for Exppedition RV Covers:
http://www.expeditioncovers.com/index.html

That really seems like a better cover than the ones I have looked at. The zippered panel providing access is a nice feature. There was no MSRP listed on their site, so I'll contact them later today.

I'd be careful where you order it from, I would stick with Ebay on this one. I originally ordered it from http://www.rvcoverscentral.com/ but ended up filing a dispute against them.
They are $188.99(free shipping) for the 14-16ft on Ebay, seller has 100% positive feedback, JMO.
