I just got a quote from CalMarkcovers.com for a custom made sunbrella cover for my 1790. $600. Has a 6 year warranty. Will fit. Bit expensive. Had a sunbrella cover for a boat, very good stuff.

WD 1790 (2018) has a sink type fixture in the wet-bath shower that takes up too much room for the little utility this faucetless sink has. So, I took out the Phillips head screw driver and removed...
