Full camper enclosure

I just purchased a used Hurricane 237 and the only cover that it came with is a full camper enclosure with zips to the double biminis. It did not come with a  mooring style cover. I need to replace this cover and am looking for the pros and cons of getting the full camper enclosure.  The owner tells me that the mooring style cover will not work because when new this boat was outfitted with the full camper enclosure as an option from the dealer.  Am I stuck with only this cover option? The boat will be kept on a mooring and I am wondering how much work it will be to unzip and re zip this enclosure.  Also, I am thinking that in the summer it will get super hot inside the enclosure. The only pro so far is the the boat can be used longer in the season as it does keep things much warmer inside. Appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks

    After reading your post I thought ?Gee, there are probably a bunch of people that would be very interested in a full camper enclosure for their Hurricane?.  Too bad this site doesn?t make it easy to show pictures??.
     
    Since Hurricane doesn?t offer this type of enclosure, the dealer might have ordered the boat without the snaps that normally would have been installed at the factory so he could custom install them for the camper enclosure (and prevent having two different sets of snaps located on the hull?.. wouldn?t that look nice..).   The only thing I would suggest is finding a marine upholsterer in your area to see if they can custom make a mooring cover using most, if not all, of the current snap locations that the camper enclosure uses.   They still may need to add some snaps to make the cover fit/work properly, but it?s worth the evaluation.

    You may need to clear/empty the cache on your browser. I'm using Chrome right now, and it's under Preferences ... Advanced Settings ... Clear Browsing Data. See if that works. You should also be able to drag and drop any pic from your computer into the text box. Good luck!

    Does anyone have a full camper enclosure?  Who made it?  I would love to camp in my boat.

    Thanks,
