    I bought one of these about 4 months ago. They are pretty nice, not storm proof by any means but do a good job of keeping the weather off the vans. And can't beat this price! And fits great over my 1966 G10 90"....

    Chris,
    These covers are designed for CORVAIR GREENBRIER VAN. And because the GREENBRIER is a bit longer and has a sloping front end there is a little extra material. I just tucked it under and called it good. Finding covers to fit our vans is tough and for $27 you really can't go wrong! It works great on the 90" but I don't believe it would fit over a 108".

    I wasn't sure at first but when they dropped the price to $27 I jumped on it figuring it was a good gamble at that price. And now I'm really glad I did...

    every time it rains inside my van ( need new seals all around) i am thinking about a cover - would prefer a garage but a cover much cheaper! - had thought about buying some material and sewing something up but why bother for the price of these covers - i see they also sell a cover for an astro van - short wheel base - anyone have an idea how that would fit - one or the other i need to get one - oo3

    The Astro van cover is cut short in front to match it's windshield and designed with only a 6 1/2 foot roof area. It would not fit well at all.

    Mine arrived earlier this week, it fits similar to Dans, but without the extra up front, some of the seams makes me think it may be for an Astro, but I know nuthin', It fits thats all I care.

    anyone buy a van cover lately? I'm in the market but the links are old.
    My neighbors are complaining to my landlord about our unfinished father/son project and he's asking that I cover it to shut them up.

    Sorry I did a quick look but no stored links here. If googling something doesn't work check an RV place , the right size camper cover may fit well on these boxes. The company we ordered from before were not always an exact fit. I ended up trading mine for one my mother had purchased for her 2004 beetle that was to large. Worked out great !

    I've heard California Car Cover makes one for the Econolines. I'm sure they could do the Chevy and Dodge as well. $110.00 to 180.00 with free shipping. Their site doesn't work quite right on old vans. Seems everything is a GMC to them. May need to phone. I've heard many good things about them but do not own one myself.

    Here's mine from California Car Cover- bought it last Spring and used it for a bit, then found a garage to store the van in- may decide to sell it- They're nice- fit well too.
