Since I don't have a garage to park my truck in, I want to get a cover to help protect it from the elements. I was looking at the Custom Fit Technalon cover offered by LMC. It is a bit pricey at $290 but I don't want some cheapo cover that isn't going to last and doesn't offer much in the way of protection.

Anyone have any experience with this cover? Any other suggestions as to what is available?

I would get a free standing roof type cover instead. Car covers, when used outside, trap moisture rising up from the ground under it. I use a sealable "pocket". I set it up, back my car into it, put a car cover on it, zip up the "pocket" with dessicant inside, and put a tarp over that. But my car is inside so the wind won't make anything slap at my paint.
Just a thought,
Scott

Check the yellow pages for someone that makes custom boat covers. They measure closely and sew the cover to fit. I would think a truck cover would be no harder than a boat cover to make
