X23B cover

Hi, looking to buy an ADCO cover or something similar that will fit our X23B.
Has anyone bought a good-fitting waterproof one?
Thx

Welcome to the Forum from Western New York State!

We bought an Adco for our 2012 TT, and it lasted about 7 years before showing its age. Our current one is from National RV Covers (bought in 2019) which we're happy with, and I expect it to last about as long. Measure the body length carefully, you don't want one that fits too tight. It would be a pain to get on and off.

Out TT is called 23', the body is 19' 7" (235") so I ordered one to fit a 21' trailer. It turned out to be 270" long. 35" longer. So I believe National RV Covers are made to allow for easy installation if you order one for the exact footage of your trailer (if I'm making any sense of this).

To be honest, the net one will probably be another Adco since the price of our current cover has more than doubled since 2019.

Thanks for the info.

When I was looking for a new replacement cover for TT, I did a lot of looking at multiple brands and was not impressed since most of the honest reviews I read weren't good for longevity. Their site says, "lifetime warranty", HOWEVER, that only applies to free replacement for the first 6 months. After that it gets pro-rated, just like a battery warranty.

See post #2 with what I did.

I was suspicious of the “lifetime warranty “

I am looking for a cover for our 2023 Class A Jayco Precept and was considering National RV Covers until I read the reviews from BBB. There were many warnings to not order from the company and the customer service is horrid. So I am still looking to order a cover elsewhere that has a physical address. Where did you buy your first cover?

Our first cover (Adco) was purchased in 2012 at the Camping World store in Liverpool NY. It was on clearance, so the price was right at the time, about $260.00 for their best model.

Our current National RV Cover was ordered through their website. It was $307.00 back in November 2019. They're headquarters are in Carlsbad CA and had no problem contacting them by phone on a couple of occasions with questions on measurement and fitment.

Both brands of covers have served us well in the NY weather. Will this one last longer than the first? Only time will tell. The key is to make sure any and all sharp edges on the trailer are protected, from the roof downspouts, steps, lower corners, and even the ladder rungs, if you have one.
