Protective Covers

[Mudflat]

Greetings, Friends!
My wife & I are planning to use our TJ to eventually tow behind a motorhome. We are also Texas State Park volunteers & spend up to 2 months at a time camped in these beautiful parks. Our vehicles, of course, have to sit outside exposed to the elements & they get quite dirty with dust & pollen & then there’s is always the risk of the occasional hail storm.
I saw this cab cover & also full body covers on the Rugged Ridge website & was wondering if any of you used a product like this. I also know that some of you have to park your Jeeps outside on a regular basis & was wondering what (if anything) you do to protect your vehicles. I know that no cover can provide real protection from a hailstorm, but it would be better than nothing.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I think you benefit from having the cover on, protection from many elements, rain, dirt, bird droppings, bug crap. Agree not much good for a big hail storm. Especially if you have a soft top or run with no top.

They last for years even in our extreme desert summer Sun.

Thanks. That looks like what I need.

I use an inexpensive (Budget brand) loose fitting car cover on mine. It helped during a hail storm (zero damage) because of the loose fit. $40 well spent for me.

Is Budget the brand? Where did you get this loose cover? Still holding up? Thanks.

This may be the cover I need. Does it fit over winch bumper and tire carriers? Do you have any photos? Thanks.

I use a Bestop trail cover in my driveway. Mine runs from May to October without top or doors and this keeps rain and bird crap off the seats.
