Any Cover Recommendations?

Because my "new" 1992 F150 won't be driven daily to/from work and because it won't be staying in the garage, I think keeping a cover on it will help the like-new paint and interior last a lot longer out in the elements. BUT - I am "buffaloed" by all the different choices available for covers!

Can you guys (& gals?) please respond with any specific brands/models of covers you would recommend? I'm trying not to spend a mint here, but I realize that a cheapie $30 nylon cover probably won't give any real protection. I just want to protect it from the sun and the various dingleberries the trees like to drop on it. Thanks for the help!

Get a portable instant garage. Dont have to fold it up and you can drive into it.

Uh, thanks, but the last time I checked, those things really DID cost a mint!

I'm looking for something a little cheaper and that won't give the HOA any reason to nit-pick. Sorry, life is complicated sometimes!
