I have been using Eevelle Gold Line Covers for almost 20 years. They hold up in the California sun for about 6 years before the fabric degrades and I have to replace them. I have never had a problem with the polyester material chafing the paint, or gelcoat. The spun fiber covers ( like Tyvek) do not hold up more than about 3 years for me.

If you will be driving over gravel roads (i.e. Alaska Highway) take it off. The rock guard will loosen road gravel whenever you go over a bump and throw it onto your toad. I use a full sized bra on the front of my towed pickup to protect it. After driving the Alaska Highway I found rocks on top of my pickup camper-shell.

Does anyone else own a Beaver Monterey with the Trinidad 30' floor plan? I'd like to share maintenance and repair tips with someone else who has experience with one. I have owned mine since 2005 and have done a lot of work on it over the years. If anyone has worked on one I would especially like to know about accessing the fresh water tank, since it is buried behind the primary storage bay and I don't see how to access it. All the wiring and hoses run along the frame behind the tank and are even more inaccessible.
