Cover - T@B 400

Hello Folks,
I see some posts regarding covering a trailer for the winter. We live in Southern Ontario and we have a lot of pine needles which have now gone in behind the window edges and especially gone down into the the plastic cover section on the back that contains the tail lights etc. I would like to clean all this out and then cover the trailer. It is stored outdoors beside the garage and does get some protection of the very strong winds that come in off Lake Erie.
Can anyone recommend a cover that will fit the trailer, have an opening so that I can access the interior and also provide some protection against moisture?
Thanks,
Keith Stamper

    I purchased the Polypro cover for R-Pods from Amazon because I need to keep my 400 covered this winter. 

    I had it in storage for two weeks and it not only stayed on, the white top on the cover allowed enough sunlight to the solar panels that the batteries were charged to 13.4V (battery switch turned to off, so no phantom power draws). I’m Pleasantly surprised and impressed. 

    As far as longevity compared to my past Paha Que covers on my Silver Shadow Teardrop and my T@B 320......I do not expect the Polypro to last over two seasons, while I expect the PahaQue’s heavier fabric to last for 6+ years. 
    (My personal opinion.)

    @Verna, my experience with the Polypro cover was as you predicted. Used it one season on an RPod and one winter on my 400. I also received solar gain through the cover for a fully charged battery as long as snow-free. I have a Pahaque cover now which should be more durable as the Polypro was near end of life when  I replaced it. Unfortunately the solar gain is minimal at best in full sun with the Pahaque but my battery is still at 100%SOC after 6 weeks.

    I recently bought the Pahaque cover for our 400, and it seems sturdy, and fits well. It's pretty expensive, but so is the 400, so I'm guessing it will be worth it. My only issue with the design of the cover is that although there is a nice zippered opening for the door, there are no zippered openings for the battery access door, or the access to the plug for the power cord. I want to be able to plug it in occasionally. The strap goes right under the camper and tightens the cover where those access points are, and so I had to loosen the strap and lift the cover to get to the battery and plug. I hope it doesn't blow around much, since once there's snow, I won't be able to get to the strap easily, and I'm planning to leave it pretty loose. Hopefully a minor detail, but it would be a design improvement to add zippered access to those areas.
