RPod Cover for Tab 400

ccrider098

Does anyone know what size RPod cover would fit on a Tab 400? Classic Accessories has covers for about 4-5 times cheaper than the PahaQue and similar brands. They just don't have one for the 400 yet. I know the body on the 400 is 15 feet and one of the RPod covers is 16 feet. I'm thinking that one might fit. Anyone try one yet?
    I have been using a Classic Accessories cover on my current 320S and it is about a year old now and it is almost like new. I'm sure I could get a couple of more years at least out of it. Not bad for $90.
   If anyone has any other suggestions they would also be appreciated. Thanks!

No suggestions for 400 but thanks for the lead on cover for 320, unbeatable price

For our 400 we went with the Classic Accessories OverDrive PolyPRO 3 Deluxe R-Pod. Paha Que' didn't have theirs out yet when we wanted to buy last September. Fits pretty good, openings where we wanted, fits over the front box. Did really well over last winter.

Thanks for the advice. Just wanted to be sure it fit before I ordered it. It's great to have this forum.

Yep.  That is what I use.  Works great

@MNtabernacle We just got our 400. Which size cover did you go with to cover the front box?

I don't remember exactly.  Open the link on our first response. It goes to the Amazon page

That link opens a page with options to choose four sizes of covers. Can anyone confirm if it is the 16' 6" one that is right? I would think so, but maybe its the 18' 8".

This is the model I am using with my 400: PermaPRO Deluxe R-Pod Cover, Fits up to 18' 8" RVs - Lightweight Ripstop Fabric with RV Cover - Model 2

@DenisP, would you happen to have any pictures of that from the side?

DenisP

I will take a side view and post it in the near future. A previous posted picture fits the same as mine.

Thank you sir.  Greatly appreciate the pics.

@DenisP Although it doesn’t look like the door is positioned exactly over the T@B door, can you still get into your T@B should you need to without rearranging the cover?

DenisP

The door is easily accessed through the zipper. I found that just unzipping the forward door zipper allows for door to be opened. The R-Pod’s door is wider and taller so the slightly mis-aligned opening works with the 400.

Was thinking of purchasing, but after reading some of the Amazon reviews not sure it would stand up to the harsh UV conditions here in Colorado. Have any others experienced quality problems with this product.  Thanks

I live in Massachusetts and the cover survived last winter’s cold and snow without issue. I am hopeful to get a few winter seasons out of it. If not I will spring for a more expensive and durable cover. An added bonus I discovered yesterday when visiting my 400 was the solar panels had a slight gain through the cover’s white roof section. The battery switch is off to eliminate phantom drain and the AGM batteries have maintained 100% charge.

I just visited my 400 after first snow of the year (7") and everything was dry and secure.  With that stated, it was pretty evident that the durability of the cover is not long term.  The cover was left over from my R-Pod and after a winter season the cover is intact but the material is lightweight.  The cover is breathable and thin.
