Interested to hear from those who have or who have had a storage cover for their TAB 400 or other TAB. What are the pros and cons? What product did you use? What would you do the same or different? I’ll likely store my new Tab 400 outside in South Florida.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hello! We purchased this from Classic Accessories purchased from Amazon.

Is it the best cover ever? I don’t think so, but for the price you can buy every year and still be cheaper than the others I found out there. The reason I went with Classic brand was we had purchased some outdoor lawn chair covers and were very impressed with the quality of their product, so we felt purchasing the cover would be just as good.
I will say I have already ripped it, but it’s not because of the quality it’s because of me snagging it on the bottom of the trailer and pulling it.
I really like all the zippers, one over the door, and one in the back. It comes with some nice straps to make sure it stays on in windy conditions. I was able to put it on by myself with a small step ladder. You need to feel comfortable standing on the front where you keep the propane and battery.
One more thing, we need that the cover would not cover the front where the propane and battery are housed, but we are good with that, just know that going in. Our main concern was the sun shinning in day after day and doing damage to the inside. I don’t think you can go wrong with this purchase.2023 TAB 320 Boondock towing with a 2023 4Runner-www.donjohnsmusic.com -
@ImNotThereYet When that one dies try this one:

I have it on my 400 and it will cover the tub box but not enough for the tongue jack. It is a bit cheaper in cost than the link you had.2022 T@B 400 Boondock

Fabric is durable and it's the same fabric that's on my AC cover for my house and I've had that for 6 years. We don't cover our 400 in the warmer months so maybe it doesn't see quite the usage others have but for only covering it in the winter it's held up the last couple of years.

When using a cover made for a pn RPod that is not a teardrop, isnt there too much fabric when placed on a teardrop T@B 400? Does all that extra material just sag to the ground? Wouldnt that flop a lot in the wind?Karen and Chris

Not really. At the rear it fits well, there is a bit of extra but it is under the rear area and nowhere near the ground. At the front it is a bit more bunchy but but only since I have it pulled forward to cover the tub, the bunchiness is on the sides of the tub. In all cases the cover is well over 12" above the ground.
