Side by Side Comparison of: Camco vs Classic Accessories

For the price, this is great. It is easy to put on, stays on in high wind storms, and helps protect the spare from the brutal Arizona sun. The last one (just like this) lasted three years, which is not bad for the temperature extremes found here. Happy, and will buy again if we still have the same old trailer in another three years.

Looks to be of good quality. Easy to install given you order the correct size. I'm using mine on a enclosed trailer 15" spare tire and it fits perfect.

Worked perfect. Nice quality for the money.

Great travel trailer spare tire cover for around $20. No matter which brand you buy, if it's exposed to direct sunlight, you'll need a new one of these every 12-18 months. My last one was the ADCO. For similar money, the CAMCO is better quality. But their marketing photos are horrible. My measurements were between two sizes, and I'm glad I chose the smaller one. I don't care about covering the back of the tire next to the trailer. I care about how it looks on the RV. The black band on the smaller cover I ordered is below the top of the tire along the tread corner. The cover still had ample stretch to cover the top of tire, but didn't have that dimpled look shown in the photos. By the time we reached the campsite, it had warmed to take out the wrinkles, fit snug to the tire and looked great.

Much better then stock picture left me thinking. From the stock picture I expected a vinyl piece of junk but it was much better then expected!!! My other cover from a different company, dry rotted after 4 years or so, hoping this one lasts about as long if not longer. It fits nice and snug. I do not see how it would fit a tire that is 25.5 inches though my tire is 24.5 inches and it almost was too small for that. Buy a size larger then you need, they are not true to size. The tire cover is on my camper spare. I love it!! Don't know if there is much else to say it is vinyl on the outside and white felt on the inside it is easy to put on and take off and protects the tire from dirt and sun damage. Also looks good on the tire.This is a good quality, well made product. No cheesy seams to break like others I was warned about. The size is generous and the vinyl is extremely water repellant and heavy weight. Elastic at the bottom, and the price was right!

This is a good fitting and nice looking tire cover. It feels similar to another I have on a fifth-wheel and like it should last for several years. There is an opening at the bottom for drainage unlike mentioned by another reviewer. As long as you get the size of your tire correct, you should be pleased.

Did not fit my H3 tire, my tire is 32" diameter and 12" thick. I still rated 5 stars because the cover is a really nice quality pleather and if I could get one to fit my tire I would buy this brand again. It was $18, You cant beat that.

I live in Arizona so did not expect it to last forever. I did get over a year out of it and now the top is starting to crack up. Will get another soon. It fits my tire well and it has an elastic band inside with clips at each end to snug it up. Covers around the back side of the tire as well.It cleans up the trailers look having it on. I like the gray, It does not attract as much heat.

Bought this for my boat trailer spare tire. Tire has diameter of 28". I bought the smaller version and it fits perfectly. There is some adjustability in the design, and I believe that it will work for the entire advertised range.The adjust end has a slit that runs to the face of the cover. You then hook two hooks together to complete the installation. For me, this was not expected and very welcome. I use a tire locking cable, and the slit and hook system actually helps fit the cover better over the cable. The elastic drawstring is strong and I expect many years of good service. The outside material is what one would expect in a lower cost cover. The inside material as well.If I have a con, is that the inside material leaves white fibers on the tire when you remove it. This is not a big deal. For such a low price, what more can you ask for.Overall, I am very please with the material, design and fitment. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.

I didn't expect this product to be a 5 star, because it's so cheap. It proved me wrong. It fit our tire exactly, was easy to put on and stays exactly where we put it. I'll buy this again.

I purchased this to cover a spare tire on a trailer that will spend most of its life uncovered.Worked well out of the box. Fit the 15" spare well and there is a hook on the back to help keep it tight. Won't flap around in the wind and has a nice clean look to it.Attached is a picture of the sizing chart from the box. I struggled to figure out the right size due to conflicting information. Hopefully this helps someone.

I have a 2011 MDX Adv with 255/50R19 tires. I traded out my donut spare for a full size when I purchased new tires (used the best of the old tires as the new spare). The MDX stores the spare tire underneath back cargo area exposed to the elements. Wanted to try this cover to help with the sand/dirt/muck that will build-up on a spare in this location. The cover fit very snugly and I could connect the plastic clips. Time will tell if the cover will hold up to the elements in this location. So far, it looks good, covers the tire nicely, and it looks so much better with the cover on.

I needed a high quality spare tire cover that I mounted on a roof rack to give me more room in the rear of my Chrysler Caravan mini-van with a lowered floor and ramp for wheelchair users. Since the spare tire could not be put under the rear of the van it used up 2/3rds of the cargo space and since the door opens upward the spare can't be mounted on the door. I have had other covers that only lasted about 2 years in the Florida sun so hopefully this will last much longer.

Very good item for the low price, although I don't know how long it might last. Our old one (which we replaced with this new purchase) was about 12 years old and was badly disintegrating, resulting in my order of this replacement. It looks very good, but I don't know what the lifespan might be.

The 24-26" covers fit the 24" spare tire (ST185/80R13) on my Coachmen Clipper 17BH. It is definitely just a vinyl cover, but it feels perfectly sturdy. These will break down over time just from the elements, and they will probably break down faster than higher-end ones will. But, it is better the cover than my tiresI plan on upgrading RVs in a year or two, so these fit the bill. For smaller campers, the tires are just not that expensive compared to the price of nicer covers, so these are a nice add-on to give me 6-7 years instead of 3-4 years out of a tire. If you have higher dollar tires, you probably want a higher-end option.

Fits very well. Thick, good quality construction at a very reasonable price. It's lasted through two rough winters and a very wet spring so far without any noticeable cracking or other wear. A simple and inexpensive way to sharpen up the image of your vehicle!Update: Well after about 2 years of service this cover started cracking and getting holes. Not bad. Unfortunately the felt-like lining turned out to be an algae magnet after a particularly heavy rainfall a few months ago, and the cover turned into a slimy mess with no hope of being cleaned. I had to toss it out. Given its cracking I don't think it would have lasted another year anyway. So with this experience I still say it's a decent product, but I've removed one star because it doesn't seem to last all that long for the price, and because if you are in a humid or wet climate the felt lining will prove to be a very bad idea.

THIS IS A REPLACEMENT FOR MY UTILITY TRAILER SPARE COVER. I GAVE THIS PRODUCT ONLY 4 STARS BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING: 1) FIT, I MEASURED THE TIRE AS SUGGESTED ON THE CAMCO SIZE CHART AND PURCHASED ACCORDINGLY. NOT COMPLETE COVERAGE. 2) UTILITY, THE COVER HAS ELASTIC BUNGEE IN BACK BUT NO DRAWCHORD TO ASSURE IT STAYS ON DURING TRAILERING. GRANTED, THIS WAS NOT MOST EXPENSIVE COVER BUT THESE ARE BASIC FEATURES. MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP APPEAR GOOD. TIME WILL TELL IF THE COVER HAS "STAYING POWER".

My white tire cover was stolen off my SUV, it's very expensive to replace the original tire cover and since my model doesn't come with a lock option (thanks a lot Toyota!) the chances of my new replacement factory cover being stolen are high.I decided to look for a vinyl cover for now, White vinyl covers are VERY HARD TO FIND! I've had this longer than I thought since my original intention was to sell my car, but I still have it.What I've noticed is from a distance, it blends in with my car very well and you don't even notice it's not part of the original car, but closer up it's obvious, especially with the thin black stripe that circles around it. Regardless, it's sturdy and is an extremely affordable emergency cover option. Needless to say no thieves are interested in this $13 cover vs the $500 original. I get so sad when I see other SUV's driving around with a missing tire cover, it's clear it was stolen, looks Horrible. This is the LAST SUV I will buy with a vulnerable cover, I really prefer the tire to be hidden anyway.My only complaint is that it does turn yellow on the top where the sun hits it, but I have an outdoor parking spot in sunny California so your experience may be very different if you park in a garage or live in Washington etc. I have to replace this yearly so far, but I still think it's a great value and really helped me out during a tough time.

Works pretty well, bunches up at the bottom, but will stay on and keep the tire from sun exposure.

Out this on my cargo trailer spare. It blew off on the freeway. I saw it, so I was able to get it back. Now it is secured with a buggy cord.

It is larger than I thought but you can tighten it up so it does the job. I would like to get something to decorate it like a stencil or something.

Very tight fit, but looks good and keeps the sun and precip off my utility trailer spare.

Ordered and received this spare tire cover super fast. The quality was much better than I anticipated for the price and seems like it's well made. The elastic straps that clip together on the inside is an added bonus to ensure a tight fit. This one was for my 2000 Honda CRV. I also ordered another one but in White for my motor home. Looks like they should last awhile.

I needed a cover for the spare tire on my 1998 Toyota RAV4. Although it was a bit confusing to determine the size I needed (from reading reviews), I just measured the diameter of the rear mounted spare tire and went about an inch onto the tread area since so many said the cover wasn't wide enough. It measured 28" so I purchased the 26.75"-29.75" size in black. It was frustrating that the description stated, "Tire sizes are listed on back of package so customers can determine sizing without measuring tires", but there was no view of this. Apparently you would need to order the item to see the package. *note: it seems they may have change the item description page from when I purchased because there's now photos showing what needs to be measured. In any event, I ordered the size stated above and it fit perfectly. There were brief instructions included which explained what the two hooks were for (for reviewers who didn't know what the hooks were for, it really does help to read enclosed materials). It's been on the car for just over a month, there's no problem staying on the tire and looks great. It's been through a few bad rain storms with high winds and there's been no slippage. I can see a potential problem with the cloth interior of cover if it gets wet and doesn't have the opportunity to dry. I just check it and if it's damp I remove it, turn it inside out and let dry in the sun. Overall, I am very happy with this cover. I'll have to see how it holds up in our snowy and icy winters, but it's secure and I don't anticipate problems. This is a good looking cover that was easy to install, has no issues with workmanship, and protects the tire well. The price was great, too. I would have given this 5 stars if the sizing information was clearer or more extensive at the time of purchase.

Fits nice, good price

fit well, in sun will darken

Shipped quick, easy to install. About 2 years old now, has retained its white color mostly, but it holds water, and gets a bit moldy inside. They could have added some mesh sections around the perimeter to let air in, water out, but that would require thought and I don't expect very much of that from this company.

I bought this same cover (Camco) twice, about a year apart. First one had some cracks/slits on top after one year and I had to remove it to use the tire as a spare. Really destroyed cover by simply removing it. But, it was a cheap cover. Now, second one it has first slit on top after 14 or 15 months and it cost a little more. So, another brand may be better materials used and probably costs more. But I will just continue to buy this one.

Nice for the cost I paid, could be a little thicker when compared to the VERY old one I took off that was finally starting to deteriorate. I'm guessing my old one was much more expensive, but it was on my RV when I bought it. The cord pulled through as I was putting it on the spare tire, so I had to pull it back off, feed the cord back through and secure it. It wasn't stitched very well. I tied it off to the other end, so I don't think I'll have any more issues. Bottom line is it's decent for the money.

One of the three was made wrong, The elastic was actually sewn into the seam, and protruding out of the "channel" it was supposed to be encased in. When my husband put it on the tire, the elastic "snapped". I was able to repair the cover by cutting the elastic free of the stitching and re-threading it through the channel. I then tied it into a square knot to keep it from retreating out of the channel again. Plain and simple, poor quality control. The mistake was clearly visible and should have been caught at the factory. Not sure I'd buy this again. The reason I gave it an ok is because it seems like the materials and fit were good, just the construction was not.

The seam tore very easy while stretching this over my tire.

Nice cover... doesn't fit a 33 inch tire as advertised. Waited to long to try and now I can't return it.

The tire cover has a cheap hooking system.

I was expecting a little better quality, its just a common wheel cover made of vinyl with like a cloth type inside liner. Will see how long it lasts.

I ordered this for a 275-85-16 tire and it fits well. The materials, well let's just say you get what you pay for!!! It's 11 bucks folks!! These thinks have a lot of material in them, and people have to make a profit. If you want a super high quality, spend some money. If you don't mind replacing this every couple of years then this one is for you.

Says will fit on a 35 inch tire. Well kinda. Depends how wide. I have an extra 285-70-17 spare with 11/32 tread left and it barley covers the tread and down not come over on to the back sidewall. I'm using this on a inside my SUV spare as the under car spare carrier does not fit a 285/70/17. If you tried to fit it over a new 35 inch duratrac, this would be a no go.

Worked well in the beginning but ended up cracking the year after we bought this. We installed it on the spare tire and never took it off again so it's not like it was handled too much before it cracked. It just appears that the vinyl isn't the greatest and cracked from exposure to the sun. Since this tire cover is designed for this application I would have expected it to last much longer than one season.

Purchased this 2 years ago. Now all yellowed on top from sun. It's not, as others have said, due to the black tire bleeding through, because the yellow is only on the top and one side that gets the most sun. The yellowing became noticeable a few months ago, so it didn't even last 2 years.

Bought this October of 2013 for my trailer. Now in April 2015 it is tattered and disintegrating. It was a great fit for the full size spare but has not held up to sun and time as I thought it should.

I've bought other Camco products and been very satisfied but this one became brittle and fell apart in just over one year of sitting on the back of my trailer. I purchased a set of Camco 45321 covers for the tires that touch the ground and those are still in great shape with supple vinyl and by all accounts should last a few more years. I'm not sure what the difference really was but it appears that a different kind of vinyl was used that just couldn't hold up to the UV like the 45321 covers I own. Fitment was good and I'm going to try one in Arctic White to match the covers that seem to be lasting and hopefully the new one will perform better.

I do not recommend this product to anyone. The cover fit perfectly, but the material turned real hard and is now cracking. I have never removed it since I put it on, but when the time comes when I have to it will fall apart. I went to touch the cover in other areas and it cracks all around. Looks good right out of the box, but breaks down after a year outdoors.

Bought to use on trailer spare tire being carried in pickup bed, seems to be decent quality material and workmanship. Large enough to fit Maxxis ST235/80R-16E1 which is close to 32" diameter. One of the few in white (Texas heat/sun, don't want dark color) this large. I'll be back to let you know how it holds up.Update: Lasted little more than one season, came apart at the seams and had to be tossed into garbage. Was mounted on tire laying flat in truck bed, so exposed to direct sunlight and buffeting from wind.

Looks good, made sure it was the proper size for my tire however already started ripping on the bottom. You get what you pay for!

Only for the lightest duty applications. Awkward to close. Ripped after 2nd removal.

Looks great and hasn't faded but it is very thin and the wind caused mine to tear on the first trip

Bought for my daughter's 2004 Honda CR-V. Not a good fit for a 205/70-15. (too big/loose/sloppy fit) Returned the product.

Followed the instructions, but the size sent was too small, not worth sending back.Workmanship was fair. I bought two and one was stuck together (perhaps transported too close to a heat source). Did not mater as both were two small.

I bought two of these to protect the spare tires on my trailer just over a year ago. I just saw today that both have several cracked and are now useless. I guess you get what you pay for. These are cheap and not very durable.

Originally I thought I'd be leaving a positive review but, sadly, this Camco spare tire cover failed 2 months and 1 trip after purchase. It looked good, fit well, and remained secure during a 200 mile trip. The cover and tire were stored in my garage for several weeks while I was painting my trailer. When it was time to mount them back on the trailer I noticed the vinyl had several small cracks that will surely grow to big cracks. Unfortunately, it's past the return window so my trailer with a fresh paint job will have a spare tire cover with trashy looking duct tape patches... yay.

Granted my Winnebago View is parked in the Arizona sun, but it barely lasted a year. The top of it is completely discolored. I was hoping it was a stain that would wash out, but no, it fell apart upon washing.

Terrible product, cotton lining and super thin seams come apart. It ripped and the seam stitching is so thin, it just pulls apart. Not for use in any exterior situation. Maybe good for Garage storage only.

In my opinion, this product is very poor quality. Vinyl cracked and cover useless within one year of installation.

Hate is a bit too strong, but I think I should get more and a year out of the cover. Vinyl on top is now covered with 1" cracks. That's bad performance in my book

The 34" is supposed to fit over my 8R19.5" tire. Upon trying to stretch it over the tire, the elastic cord snapped immediately. Literally within about 5 seconds. My original, 30-year-old cover is looking a little beat, but the elastic cord is still in tact.

This item will not fit a 33X12.50 tire as it was advertised!

This cover fit snugly on my spare but it blew off somewhere in Georgia! Had it less than two weeks.

Returned this cover. Looked like I had a shiny black trash bag over my spare. I was hoping by the great reviews it was a great deal, but I got what I paid for.

Waste of money, ripped just placing it on the spare tire. I made sure I ordered the right size, waited until a hot day and left it out in the sun to be more pliable. Slowly fitted it over the top and adjusted as I worked to the bottom. At the very bottom the seem tore out.....

Too smal for my jeep tire 255/70R18.

It didn't fit, the cover was not wide enough, for 10.5" tire, and there was no measurement given , to indicate tire cover , application for width, I feel that should have been stated! The diameter was stated, and it fit my 32" tire, it's just not deep enough! Waste of money on my part
