Get a 38' one and wrap the end extra with the ties. I have a 38' but have not used it for 2 yrs, because having roof solar. Have to figure on cutting panels into it in the right places and sew clear plastic or?so solar panels show thru'.

I should mention that when I put it on I loosend the bolts for mirrors and turned them toward windscreen. Drop antennas for cb and anything else that sticks up of course.

When I ordered a cover from Calmark Cover last year, I had to send them this dimension sheet.

Unfortunately, I just left town, but I'll send you my filled out sheet when I get home.  Hopefully if I kept it.

Jimmy, I had a cover for mine for a few years.  It is a royal PITA to put on and remove.  It can be done by one person but for safety you should have a helper.  Stumbling around on the roof trying to straighten out all that material is an accident waiting to happen.  The cover I had was some kind of cloth an d even tho it kept a good amount of dirt off the roof there was still a lot of real fine stuff that filtered thru the cloth. After a back surgery and with the material getting rotten on the cover I threw it away.
Good luck with it.
