Yeah I lost one of those covers to the high winds. I learned to tie the bougie around something like the fender stiffener at the bottom. Save me from recovering a few of them.
I want to make my own covers out of something like sunbrella shade which blocks UV but also let some air through. Be easy enough to make on a sewing machine and the snaps would go on the wheel well.
Unfortunately my Sailrite sewing machine is in Oklahoma with the x she might have sold it by now.
I think the 303 works just fine personally. By the time they start cracking really badly it's time to replace them anyway.

We ended up having Infinity in Nacogdoches make custom wheel covers. They cut the matching marine vinyl and installed the snaps.  I'll have to get a photo.  Very happy with the result.

I did find 303 at the auto parts store. I'll use that as well.  Thanks for the tip.

Just to circle back around.  I am attaching a photo of the tire covers that Infinity made for us.  My wife had them make a second set that that were 2 inches longer so when we level the coach, we can use the best fit (shorter or longer ones) as needed.
