Just installed the fit2ride magnet window cover on our 2285. Took forever to arrive. I’ll be heading to Borrego Springs tomorrow to test it out.

Please report back on your impressions of this cover. My Lexan cover has served well but needs to be completely redone and the Fit2Ride looks to be a viable option.
Looks similar to the AutoWeave cover except you’re using self stick magnets instead of self stick snaps on the trailer - right? How thick is the cover, the AutoWeave includes something like a 1/4” piece of hard foam. I’m guessing the only advantage is the magnet version is more forgiving when it comes to putting it on in weather extremes. With my Autoweave I initially installed it in 70 degree weather, if I take it off and store it in my truck bed and it gets cold its hard to put on because the material contracts, so I warm it up in the trailer first so it will stretch as needed. With magnets you shouldn’t have to worry about an exact fit.
It’s apx 1/2” thick stiff foam, 12 2 inch high performance circular magnets. I had to pay an extra $100 custom fee so it should be pat of there standard product now I would think.
What year is your trailer? It looks like it has the glass front window and not the acrylic one.
It’s a 2022 w/glass
Sorry, it’s a 2020 2285
Is the fit 2 ride cover designed to stay on during transit?

I started discussing the LOA offering the FIT2RIDE cover in the LOA store. We will be able to offer it at a discount and even get it customized with the LOA logo or in carbon fiber. I am taking a trailer over to Fit2Ride with an acrylic window so they can make a pattern for it.
I will keep everyone posted.
Cool! I’ll be interested to hear what you come up with. I’m going to be interested in what you find out and where they suggest the magnets be mounted. Because heat is such an issue with me, I have MagneShades on my windows, which are also magnet mounted. They aren’t designed for traveling and window protection though. I wonder if I could use both of them - the Fit2Ride for traveling and the MagneShades for keeping the sun out once I get to where I’m going.
Keep us informed with the details. I’d be interested in the details (whether the covers would scratch the windows, how they mount, etc.).

Whoo Who! Eric I am interested in the side windows as well as the star gazer. I know that the different models have different window sizes, but maybe something can be worked out for the side windows.
I will be interested in this as well. Thanks for posting.
