Default 3124 ADCO Pics and Review.

I just put the ADCO 22.6 on my 3124KS. I chose this cover after research from this site, so I figured I could help the next guy. Pics are attached.

My new climate is the New England so I dont quite know what to expect, but this cover seemed to be a good choice. It is thin, but the fabric is sound, tough, and the attachments for the straps seem strong. It covers from head--to-toe very well and there was only a little extra on the backside that I twisted up and tied.

Overall, first look, I think its good but will only last two winters, which is just fine with me. If I had to pay $150.00 every other year for a new cover, I would be happy.

It looks good, but I like the looks of my tm much better, so it will be hard to get use to.

I hope this helps someone.......you have been so much help to me.

Question best option for cover for 2003 tm3023?

We just purchased a 2003 tm 3023 and for the next few months we will have to store it outside. I know that we need to use a cover that is breathable and we have seen some on the ADCO website but are not sure what size to get. Does anyone have any experience with a cover for a 3023 or any suggestions? thanks

Don't know the answer offhand. But have you done a Search of this forum using the term "ADCO"?

Jason, I'm happy with my Adco, so far. It's about 4 months old but it really really loses its coating easily if it is rubbed. I noticed you have ties across the top which I also did at first. I now strap, with straps and additional bungee cords across the bottom and use Tarp Clips that I bought at Walmart, but Ace also has them, in order to keep the front/back/sides tighter to reduce flapping in the wind. Anything to make it last longer

Jason,

I have a new Adco cover for our Elkmont 26. If you did not put towels on the corners or other edges, it might be a good idea to do it next year. I made sure I put large towels on the corners and also at the ends of the awning. Also, I made sure I covered the antenna since it has sharp edges on it. Also, I made sure I had towels at the bottom of the corners which can be sharp and tend to wear the cover more.

Batman, this is the Adco cover that I bought:

http://www.adcoprod.com/custom_fabrics_tyvek.htm

I bought the Dupont fabric because I store in South Florida where the Sun is intense and the humidity is high. So far, I am happy but I have yet to go through the Summer months.

If you haven't already done so, you will need to go to the Adco site to find dealers:

It might be better to get some soft leather and just sew it into the inside of the cover, wherever there may be chafing issues. Laying towels won't last through the first windy day......

We have an adco 24' Pop-up cover that came with our 2006 3023. It works really well and even covers the tongue. I have thought about buiying a travel trailer cover to use on the TM so we can store opened.
