We have been selling the $169 Just Kampers cover from England for a number of years now. Last fall when this topic came up on the Type 2 List it was unanimously recommended. It was originally designed for the English climate (which isn't that far removed from the PNW climate), but I've had positive feedback from customers in everywhere from Florida to Minnesota. (It has also acquitted itself quite well on my own Westy through some brutal Pennsylvania winters.) One unique feature is that it has zippers to allow you to access the vehicle while covered (to air it out, retrieve items, or start it up). We do offer pricier covers that are a bit higher-end and probably more protective overall if cost is not a concern, but in the $200 range I think this one is impossible to beat (and those zippers really come in useful).
