I'm done with covers, spent hundreds of dollars. I hope you have better luck than I did.
Yeah covers are a pain. My decals are cracked pretty bad and look terrible I was just hoping the cover slows the decal damage.

Been thinking about removing the bad decals Seems the brown one are the worst If I remove them you wouldnt notice they were gone

I made a new thread about a problem I had but figured I'd post it here also

The backs on my recpro seats started peeling. To much sun and cheap china material. It took several weeks and several calls plus an email to get it sorted out. The seats were out of warranty by 6 months but in the end recpro came through and sent them to me no chargef

They got delivered today. So when this heat wave dies down ill change them out

Nice work Jerry. Good for you! Mine are way out of warranty, I ended up purchasing some covers.

Those look nice. Please post where you got them and model

The seats I was talking about are my theater reclining seats

My front seats are still good but have been thinking about covering them to hopefully help last longer

Jerry, I like others feel your pain. My 2017 29M is having the Vegas heat blister and crack my decals. Mainly the white ones for now.
I also bought a cover; light grey 5 ply (yeah right) from Amazon and my son helped me put it on. Pain in the ass and looked sloppy. Even tied down it kept stretching. A tear appeared near the back but the decals were safe. In July I took the cover off by myself and promptly made tears in 3 other places. Pitiful experience. I’m going to try a sunshade fabric to cover the side and get a car bra for the front. I also have now committed to waxing and buffing it 4 times a year. I’d like to find someone to replace the decals with paint. Not much luck so far. Sure does hurt to see your baby get sun blistered. Didn’t even mention the white seals around the door and vents.
Thank goodness we tinted every window, even the windshield and bought Magnashades for the outside and still use silver reflection for the inside windows.
Damn.......#desertheathatesmyRV

I wax my Hurricane 31Z ever 3 months. It takes me 3 days haha. My rig was on the dealer lot for a long time. When I got it home I used a cleaner wax and got all the dirt out of it. 24 hours later I put Meguiar’s Synthetic Sealant 2.0 on all but the front. On the front I use Rejex. When I take all the bugs off I use 303 protectant. I also use 303 on the roof after I clean it. So far it looks good. But it’s a lot of work. I have an F-150 I bought 20 years ago and the decals look fine. I wonder why the decals on MH’s don’t hold up better than they do?
My friend owns a business and had his pickup wrapped 3 years ago and it looks great. I don’t think he has ever waxed it. Maybe that could be a solution?

$5,000 is still a lot less than panting a rig would cost. Not cheap but.....

That time a year to clean the roof. It needed it. Got it done before the heat kicked it. Now to wash the sides then jump in the pool

Tomorrow might be a 303 protectant day

Is that just Dawn dish soap?... That looks good... we get a lot of green moss here in the east. I've tried a few thing, but never look that clean. I'll feed and water if you want to do mine?

Yep Dawn soap, car washing brush, and water

If I get back to the east coast I'll clean your roof no problem

Do you bake bread also or just cake. Bread , pizza, and salt water fishing are my hobbies also

Todays projects - Thanks Jerry and Dino...

So with the cup holder being fairly useless. Today one was converted to a storage tray. On the drivers armrest/shelf thing. I cut the bottom to fit, sticky high density foam tape to hold in place. I did sand the bottom smooth to fit properly https://www.walmart.com/ip/Rubbermai...c-78cb91a0e362
