I have gone through two (flammia?) covers that were very poor quality.
Any recommendations for a decent cover for two bikes on the thule cycle carrier on the rear of our motorhome?

My Hindermann takes a lot of abuse, as well as using it as a cycle cover it doubles up when I'm not in transit as a motorcycle cover. The Fiamma covers are almost useless. Some additional eyelets on the Hindermann would be useful

I use a small motorcycle cover. Cheap as chips and so far lasted a few years no issues.
The fiamma covers are poor quality for the money

Hindermann was what we used also, still in great condition as the material is much thicker vs the Fiamma ones. Our Fiamma wore through within 1yr, the Hindermann lasted 5yrs and is still as new.

We bought ours from Bags & Covers Direct.
Can’t fault it or the service. They are not cheap but as you said “Buy cheap ........”
Its a really good product. Very heavy duty and loads of straps / fixings.

I asked the same question a few months back and got this answer from a kind poster I bought one and it is 1st class

Likewise those covers are crap. I went for a made to measure one and am very pleased with it.

I expected them to be expensive but was surprised that they’re quite good value...

Since 2014, changed our MH 4 years ago
We replaced a Fiamma one that had lasted 5years with a Taylormade one

Very sturdy material and a bit of a learning curve to get it on at first. Pleased with the result, but we’ve only got it last September so haven’t had the chance it use it much since.

The Fiamma ones go brittle in the sun so not much use, managed to buy a couple from car boots for £1 each though.
The Taylormade one we have is a good one and will outlast the Fiamma by a few years.

I've got one.
It takes 10 mins to put the bikes on the rack and at least another 10 mins to put the cover on.
I do have a high mounted rack.
But once on its superb protection for the bikes.
