Trailer Cover for 21

A week before picking up our 21NE, ETI informed us that they were out of trailer covers and we would be refunded. What other covers will fit the 21? We need to order one soon before the cold sets in and our trailer goes to storage.

I bought a CalMark for our 2020 E19 and am happy so far. Had one for the Casita that lasted about 10 years or so, then bought a Classic Accessories off of Amazon that I covered until I sold it. The guy that bought my Casita said the cover had fallen apart no long after he got it, so less than a year. CalMark is pricey, but it will last, and they will make one for a 21.

BatChaser - I concur with LarryLSB about the viability of CalMark covers. We have a 2016 Escape 21 that we bought a CalMark cover and used for 3 years before inside storage became available. The cover was well made and fit our 21 perfectly. The cover install is pretty straightforward and with a little practice only takes about 15 minutes to complete and secure.
It certainly protected the gel coat from dust and ash we are experiencing here in Northern California.
Yes, they are a bit pricey but are well made and far more durable than less expensive covers. You only have to buy one.
Good Luck

Another vote for Calmark. We have had ours for 6 years, and it's doing great.
Also, it's made by a locally owned and operated company (Oxnard, CA). They use Sunbrella fabric.

I have a cheap ADCO trailer cover that I have used on our 19' since 2013 and and a much more expensive Calmark cover that we use for our 2013 15B. The Calmark cover is holding up better than the Adco, however, based on current condition I expect to get at least 3-5 more years on the Adco cover before it needs replacing. Value for money, I would say that the Adco cover was a better deal.

Got a quote for our 21NE from CalMark today, $1152 + shipping and handling. Takes about 2 weeks to manufacture. 6-year warranty and includes 1 zipper door.

Here is a link to the review of the cover that ADCO custom made for our 21.
1.5 years in still looks new. This cover is much different than the ADCO cover that you buy from Camping World.

They are custom made, not ordered by size. I contacted them with my trailer information, 21NE with lift kit, 2 solar panels and AC, and they said they have the dimensions as they have made a cover and have the measurements on file. They just need pictures to confirm the trailer design and provided me with the specific pics they need. I ordered a free fabric sample also.

Did that include the cover for the tongue and propane tanks ? It was separate for me and I decided not to order it and make do with a cheap car cover for the tongue. I think I paid 700 for the trailer cover only and I don’t remember how much the extra cover was.

It does not. A cover for the storage box and propane is an additional $180.

The Classic accessories cover that came with our 21C looks as if it is sold out on Amazon. The upgraded version is available, however: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...KIKX0DER&psc=1

Thanks

Sorry I cannot recall the specific one as it was back in 2013 when I purchased it.

CalMark has the measurements for the Escape 19 in their system, custom made for each make of trailer.

They were running a special when I got mine, free tire covers!

Calmark covers made in California are a premium cover

Have a new “in box” cover from ETI. Never used. Fits our 21’. If you are interested I will come up with a fair price.
