Looking for a cover for my Northstar TC 650

[base341]

I'm new here but have been lurking for a while and have learned a lot about pop ups on this forum.
We picked up a used Northstar last November and was able to get our first real camping trip in last weekend at Crowley lake.
Love the camper so far.
Any suggestions for a cover for the camper when it's off the truck and not in use?

Any suggestions for a truck AND camper cover? I rarely take the camper off the truck and would like a cover that fits both.

Again check EBay =RV covers.

Even the best covers seem to rot after a couple of yrs. I'd look into a HD canopy at the swap meet with galvanized poles and UV resistant silver tarp. You can hang the tarps from three sides and leave one open. They are Baja proven.

Reg is right, covers will all get ripped up eventually. I'd love a canopy for mine... someday. In the meantime, here's a fairly cheap option (looks like its on sale now too):

Camco 45771 16.5' ULTRAGuard Slide-In Camper Cover (78"LC x 108"HB x 44"HC x 106"W) by Camco http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0024E67FW/..._n4Jtub065JT5M

I bought one last year for my TC650, it held up well all season. I put it in a garage for the winter, so I can't speak to how well it'll hold up in more serious weather. I mostly wanted to keep sap/leaves/bird-crap off during the week.

I took a photo of it for another Portal member last season, here:

Thanks Doctorit, That answers another question, I guess it's best to store the camper with the top up.

Yeah, but I would say only if it's covered. I think being folded has much less effect than baking out in the sun for the soft sides. Also, it's such a tiny camper, it helps keep the cover off the ground!
