LV Cover (1 Viewer)

[DomSmith]

I bought one of these for my SWB with a big hay cage (? I have no idea what you call it) and it works great. The interior lining is really soft and would work better on nicely painted rigs as it gets hung up a little on patina or chipped paint. I got the Large (up to 200”). $84 at time of posting.

Threw it on a stock LV and the fit is pretty good (see pics). We’ll see how it holds up outside. It’s more of an indoor/outdoor cover in my opinion that might work better under a carport or the like. It has 3 straps to help hold it on as well.

I’m going to keep an eye on the cover’s condition over the next 6-12 months. As a long term outdoor option I may end up covering this with a second one.

Thanks for the info Dom! I think I will buy one to slow the rust down!
Real question here is, do you have a LV too?

Well it was under a tarp that did a decent job but honestly looked like s***. The wife approves of the new look.

I’m storing it for a friend.

I've used a 5 layer outdoor cover on my 60 and it's well worth the money.

They last around 3 years and then start to disintegrate.

If it were mine I’d share some pics but out of respect for the owner I’m going to refrain.

It’s a very nice clean one that has been sitting for some time.

I wish it was mine.

My wife does not.

Which one is on the LV?

Here’s a pic of the box:

Also I noticed after taking off the cover on my very rough patina paint 45 that lots of the soft inner lining left “fuzzies” on it. Obviously on a nice paint job it shouldn’t have much to adhere to but with my truck the rough surfaces are pulling off little bits of the soft liner. I have not driven it to see how much of the fuzz comes off.

Just something to consider.

Just wanted to give an update on this…

The cover did a good job of keeping out water etc for about 6 months then got very brittle on the roof, cracked and allowed water intrusion. This was in direct sunlight on the southwest part of our property in SoCal.

I think this would be a great option for occasional use or to cover a truck indoors.

Not recommended for long term outdoor use.
