I will be covering the T@B for winter with a heavy vinyl tarp since I cannot get a woven polyester, breathable fabric one at this time. $$ Has anyone experienced excessive humidity using a tarp in a humid environment ( Vancouver BC is very wet throughout the winter).  I plan to place a dehumidifier in the trailer for the entire winter. 

side note:  anyone selling a PahaQue Outb@ck cover?

    Have you looked at the Classic Accessories version?  Very affordable and appears well made.  Be careful with the vinyl tarp - there have been reports of wear of the Tab gel coat.

    Wear of the Tab gel coat?  Really, I'll have to research that; thanks Sam.

    If it helps any I bought the Classic Accessories cover from Walmart.com for $76 and have been really happy with it. They make one specifically for the t@b.

    They make models that fit an S model Tab and a CS model Tab.

    Thanks folks.  Hwever, Walmart Canada does not have the S and CS cover you refer to plus I have an Outb@ck so I expect that cover may not fit over the back rack in any case. 

    But they do have a Classic Accessories OverDrive PermaPRO Deluxe R-Pod Cover, which Fits 18' - 20' RVs.  Has anyone tried to fit this on the Outback?  It may be a bit baggy but it might do the trick.

    I only got 11 months out of our polypro 3 version of the cover, it rotted from UV and wet weather here south of Seattle.  I now have the ripstop version from Classic accessories, and it looks like I'll get maybe 2 years out of it,  it's faded but structurally intact after about 9 months.  I've posted this info before, but searches don't seem to work very well.

    Thanks for this discussion everyone. db_cooper, there are 3 sizes at walmart with the riptop version. Do you remember which size you got or better yet the walmart item number? I have had my T@B since 2016 and have never covered it but this sounds affordable. In Durango we have snow and ice and lots of sun (even in winter) so am thinking it just needs to be covered for lots of reasons.

    SAM, i have a 2015 S model of T@B. (not teardrop or clam). There are some sizes to pick from on the hayneedle link. My mind is not cooperating to pick the correct size. Which size do you suggest? thanks! I think this may be my solution.

    The Hayneedle site lists some odd dimensions (150 x 75 x 47).  Went back to Walmart and their price is $119 for the Classic Accessories Permapro that fits 10 - 12 ft trailers.  That is the one you want.  80-399-161001-RT.  Now I see Amazon has it for the same price and no shipping with Prime!
