 Danny OAbout that question I asked wondering why someone was getting ready to purchase a new set of covers after theirs only lasted a year.  Bob of PopUpGizmos caught that post, followed up on it, and gave me my answer.
 
 I was happy to hear that this was a seasonal camper who left their cover up 24/7, rain or shine!  I thought I d share this with anyone else who was also wondering and/or hesitating.
 
 I ve heard enough wonderful reviews of all of Bob s products to know he puts quality first and I am happy to say I have FINALLY purchased a set of covers!!!  [:D]  Now I can t wait for them to get in!

 Danny OI got my covers Friday.  I am hoping to give the bunkends a good cleaning and then use the covers when we are camping Wednesday.

 Danny OCan t wait to check yours out Tracy. Mine are on order but may take awhile. I got my order in at the end of March, which I imagine was a pretty busy time. BTW, I haven t mentioned to Chris that I bought them so keep let s show them off to him and hope he says he wants a set (hopefully a June anniv present). Key to our happy marriage - let him " think"  it s " his"  idea [:D]. Besides, he s happy as can be now that he s driving Rick s copcar.

 Danny OMine shipped last week, and they were waiting on my front doorstep when I got home from the SLO Escape Rally on Sunday.  They look great and I can t wiat to try them at our next rally in May (there s stillroom if you d like to join us! http://www.popuptimes.com/members/tm.asp?m=2554&p=1&tmode=1 )
 
 Now, I just want to add a strip of velcro to the covers and the underside of the bunkends so that the covers will fasten up under there, and then I ll be all set for the heat of summer![8D][:D]

 Danny OFolks,
 
   Am I to understand the most of you that have ordered the PUG type covers do not have or use A/C? I was in the process this pass December to buy them but backed off when I found out BOB did not take plastic money. After reading the thread I am now debating on get them because I do have A/C and use it. Partly due to having too. There is another company making them now and I beleive they are about 25.00 dollars cheaper. Don t know about the quality. Shoulds I try?

 Danny Owhitestar505,
 
 I have A/C and own and use the PUG covers during summer camping.
 
 They allow the A/C to work a little easier and help keep the temperature stable.
 
 I had not heard there was a new manufacturer and would be interested in the information.  With that said, I am a believer that you get what you pay for.  For an item in this price range, you are talking about a 33% price difference.  I wonder if there was that much " fat"  to cut before having to degrade the product to save $$$.
 
 The owner of PUG is an active pop up camper and stands behind his products.

 Danny OI also have A/C and use the covers.  When camping at INks it actually got COLD in the camper with using both.  We had to turn the AC off.
 
 Bob (POP UP GIZMO OWNER) hand delivered them to me at one of our outings with NTPUCA.  They re wonderful and fold up to a small size.  He also includes all the clips which some dealers charge extra for.
 
 SUre, you can get the one s that are $25.00 cheaper, but what do you know about them?  Might as well spend a bit more $$$ to get something that you KNOW is great and will last.

 Danny OSure looks like Bob has built up some consumer loyalty on this board.
 
 I guess that is what comes from having a great product and taking care of his customers.
 
 When I ordered mine, last year, I asked him if I could have them for the Tenn Rally.  He made a special effort and I had them in plenty of time.
 
 Thanks again, Bob

 Danny OI ordered my covers and in a post here, at PUT, I  mentioned that we were going on a trip soon.  Without asking Bob to rush my order he did.  He move our order up so that we would have the covers before we went.

 scpreacherswifemy covers arrived last night...won t be using them until June 6.
 
 Would whoever said they use velcro please  splain it to me?  I m guessing you used sticky velcro and glued one part to the inside " rim"  of the popup top and then put the soft side of the velcro along the top edge of the cover.
 
 Since it gets really hot here (can t even keep my SunPass doohickey glued to the windshiel!) I would have to reinforce the fabric velcro with basting stitches...but am concerned about the adhesive on the roof becoming unstuck.

 sandykayakI ve used these covers and/or survival blankets for a couple of years now with only the clips to hold them on.  I ve never had one blow off yet and they ve stayed on through some pretty good storms here in TX.  I d suggest trying them as they are before you go sewing or gluing velcro on.

 sandykayakSandy -
 The velcro is my idea (I think, ha).  It works perfectly and just like I planned for it to work.
 Its only purpose is to be able to raise the roof with the SBEC s in place so all you have to do once the shepherd s poles are in place is to clamp the 3 remaining open sides.
 In a nutshell, I stuck one side of the velcro to the plastic piece/strip that is under the lip of the ABS roof where the canvas meets the underside of the roof.  I then stuck the other side of the velcro on the fabric that is around the top perimeter of the solar covers.  My DW then re-enforced the velcro on the solar covers by sewing them also.
 When popping-up, we raise the roof about 12"  and then stop and attach the solar covers (we have 3 with the slide-out) to the roof and then finish raising the roof.
 We then happily watch as the solar covers go up with the roof.  Gone are the days of trying to get the solar covers under the lip of the roof after set-up and then try and pinch them in there with the shepherd s poles.
 Last note;
 We also put the velcro on the reverse side of the solar covers for when it is cold outside (January & February for us) and we want to keep the heat in the PU.
 Hope this made sense as I m in a hurry here, lol.
 Happy and cool camping!

 sandykayakJust got back from 2 1/2 weeks in Florida.  My PopUpGizmo s Bunk End Covers worked amazingly well!  I m so glad we didn t have to go without them!  Took me a while to part with the money, but I m very glad I did.  The A/C actually turned off frequently, even during the day!

 scpreacherswifeCan someone please contact popupgizmos.com for me.
 
 I want to order covers for my pop up, but I can t respond to the email address listed on his web page.  Something in my server keeps giving me an error message when I try to email him.
 
 I have the order form, but I think that we get a discount if we re members and I want to find out what the cost would be as a Pop Up Times member.
 
 Thanks, Ray Vaillancourt, Tampa
