We have been  selling the $169 Just Kampers cover from England for a number
of years now.  Last fall when this topic came up on the Type 2 List it was
unanimously  recommended. It was originally designed for the English climate
(which isn't  that far removed from the PNW climate), but I've had positive
feedback from  customers in everywhere from Florida to Minnesota. (It has
also acquitted  itself quite well on my own Westy through some brutal
Pennsylvania winters.)  One unique feature is that it has zippers to allow you to
access the vehicle  while covered (to air it out, retrieve items, or start it
up).  We do  offer pricier covers that are a bit higher-end and probably
more protective  overall if cost is not a concern, but in the $200 range I
think this one is  impossible to beat (and those zippers really come in
useful). See   http://www.busdepot.com/details/covers/.
