Many years back when I lived in the fine city of Liberty, MO I had a convertible that I had to park outside, the dang thing leaked like a mof@. Anyway, I bought a budget car cover for it from wallys or target, after 2 summers, the cover just disintegrated. The material was bit like Tyvek building wrap. I want to cover my winni as I have a few leaks to address in spring. I am on a tight budget so I thought I would make one out of Tyvek I found a similar product at Menards for $80 for 100 ft long and 10 ft wide. I cut a 20 ft length and gorilla glued some garden chair polyester bands (see yellow things attached to Tyvek). total cost for 1 cover = $20 Here is my rational, pls critic it: Pros: 1. This stuff will breathe and work better than blue tarp 2. Lighter than blue trap 3. white and should reflect light (probably can be seen from outer space) 4. cheap Cons: 1. Material will NOT last with UV exposure 2. will tear from abrasion easily I have not covered the camper with it yet as I still have to take off an antenna (CB) first.
