Hi and welcome to Buffalo ! I have been using the Just Kampers cover from Bus Depot pricier than others, but it is slick and snow slides off. Has zippers for access to side and sliding doors, lasts about five years. P.S. stay off the salty roads...VW Killer.

I have this cover and am happy with it so far. Fits over Westy top and front mount spare tire.

Ha, nice one Kent but no thanks on moving back to Texas.

Cheers Helmut I will look into the Bus Depot one. Enjoying it so far. Not had much chance due to work to get the bus out to be honest. Just keeping it ticking over for now.

I left my van sitting in sunny Arizona last summer so bought the better of the two covers offered by Wolfsburg West to try and limit the UV damage. Have never bothered to cover it in a more moderate climate.

My mom warned me about staying out of Buffalo in winter. She lived there one winter right out of home in WWII, and said if you enjoy climbing out the second story window to get outside then Buffalo is for you. Make sure you know where the bus is so you can find it. Smile

Aw, cmon... your sig line says Austin. I've never been, but hear it's a great place.
And a VW bus must be the quintessential transport option for "keeping Austin weird". Laughing

And compared to... Buffalo? Rolling Eyes

(Sorry TomWesty. Buffalo has a reputation, and it's well deserved.)

You got that right !! They say if you don't like Buffalo's weather "wait a minute, it will change" This photo was taken the day before the one above.
