Re: RV cover Reply #25 – November 26, 2017, 01:29:35 am Our plan for our next BRC expedition probably next year will be a trailer around 17 to 20 ft long, which we will buildout with items from both of our wish lists. Our 26 MB will remain far away from the Playa as long as we own it! Karen~Liam 26 ~MB
Re: RV cover Reply #26 – November 26, 2017, 05:31:15 am To protect hatches and other plastic roof parts, I covered them with Rubbermaid bins of an appropriate size, flipped upside-down. Then I put the cover on. This was for snowload and to provide a central air pocket on the roof. We’ll see how it works.

I don't remember anyone using this method.The snow charts show that Anchorage gets a lot snow. This looks like a good way to protect the hatches and eliminate any leakage.Larry
Re: RV cover Reply #28 – November 26, 2017, 01:32:37 pm I stole the idea from a neighbor, so I can’t take the credit. I figured if it didn’t work I would at least have the bins, which I can always find uses for.

Maybe then bridge them with 2x4 to create a ridge, and to prevent a central bowl. Chip
Re: RV cover Reply #30 – November 26, 2017, 02:23:55 pm While on a Walk-A-Bout through the Lighthouse RV park across from Serrano CG at Big Bear Lake, my DW and I noticed quite a few TT and RVs with boxes built over the roof vents. I didn’t notice any that were pitched for run off and at the time I thought the boxed enclosures were to prevent tree branches from penetrating the brittle plastic vents. Thinking about it now I can see how these boxed vents would be protected from the burden of heavy snow fall.Clever idea that, no doubt, comes from years of experience.Kent
Re: RV cover Reply #31 – November 26, 2017, 03:32:08 pm Have had vents covers covering the vents since the start and they have had a LOT of snow on them over the year without any issues. Now, I drive to storage after snows, climb up there and sweep the roof so it doesn’t sit up there long. However, i’m Entering my 60th year on this ball of dirt and climbing up with snow on the ladder and whatnot is getting less and less appealing! 😝Dave
