I ended up getting a Tyvek cover on fleabay sized for an Astro van and it fit very well on my 710K. The hatch takes up a few inches, but the fit still ends up pretty much the same as yours at the bottom. The company that made it is 'Budge' in PA.
I wanted to try a Tyvek (the stuff they make house wrap, fedex envelopes, out of), mainly to keep the TX summer sun off. Tyvek is extremely light weight, packs tight, doesn't rip, doesn't absorb moisture, and is bright bright white, so we'll see how well it holds up. I've only had one occasion to get under it in a downpour when I left something in the Pinz, and it is indeed bone dry underneath. It's got an elastic band around the bottom, but I would imagine that when strong winds are anticipated, a ratchet strap around the middle might be a safe bet. $80 bucks can't be beat.
The bright white color is not very camo and might be considered a bit of an eyesore of it has to sit for all your neighbors to see, but I keep mine around back. If it lasts more than a year or two I will be happy and considerr it money well spent.
