I'd pay shipping for it :) maybe $50-60 i'd imagine. i'm in SC. keep me in mind
Ok…. I’m down in Florida and the cover is in PA. I’ll be heading back there to pick up my motorhome around May 1 before heading on a trip to Alaska. I’ll have about a 2 week window to get it shipped out.

I’ll make a note and reach out to you when I have it and can weigh it and get a shipping estimate for you.

I had to add strap to lengthen it, just so I can get the cover on... sad

Silly question but did you loosen both ratchet straps all the way before you tried to buckle it together. You have to buckle it with the ratches completely loose before you tighten the cover.
believe me i fought with it for hours last time and gave up. came to conclusion this is the only way....

Copy that, is it short enough that you could completely pull it out of the ratchet and then tie that orange extension to the end you pulled out of the ratchet, buckle it together and feed that extension through the ratchet and use it that way?

the strap is looped on the ratchet so can't take it off.
