Question:
I have a 2017 forest river rpod 177 18.8 length and will store outdoors in nj with cold winters and some snow. Expect to keep rv a few more years then get new one so can replace cover but want to be sure roof is protected from ice and debris. What cover is right for me?

Good morning Eileen!
For your 2017 Forest River R-Pod 177, I recommend the Classic Accessories ProTop4 RV Cover # CA25DY. It's specifically designed for your R-Pod in the 18' 8" length and would be my choice for outdoor winter storage.
The ProTop4 has upgraded, heavy-duty roof fabric that offers excellent protection against snow, rain, ice, and debris. It also has reinforced corners, adjustable straps to keep it secure in windy conditions, and a 4-year warranty.
We also have the more economical PolyPro III # CA80199, which does fit your R-Pod, but since protecting the roof during winter is your biggest concern, I'd spend a little extra on the ProTop4.
One thing to keep in mind is that a cover helps protect the roof's surface but won't prevent heavy snow or ice buildup, so you'll still want to monitor accumulation throughout winter. Do you have any add-ons on the roof such as solar?

Only thing on top is the factory installed AC and antenna. No add ons. This seems right cover but my entry door is in front of wheel (rather than behind as shown in pic). Are there options on the door opening locations?
