Protect Your RV Year-Round with a Quality Cover
Protect Your RV Year-Round with a Quality Cover
Most people think of an RV cover as a winter thing. It is — a good cover works like an overcoat against wind, snow and cold, and it costs a fraction of a storage rental. But a quality cover earns its keep in every season.
Sun, Wind, and Rain:
A breathable cover protects against the sun’s ultraviolet rays, which fade the exterior and cause cracking. Waterproof material sheds rain, snow and sleet, keeping water damage and mould out. And a cover that fits properly won’t flap in the wind and wear at the surface underneath it.
Nothing can negatively impact the value of your RV more than water damage, and those repairs are expensive. See our caulking guide for how to keep the seals sound.
Winter Wonderland:
Winter needs a heavy-duty cover with real insulation. The cover forms a barrier that helps hold a consistent interior temperature, which is what keeps pipes from freezing and components from cracking. Pair it with a proper winterization.
Spring Cleaning:
Spring brings dust, pollen and tree sap, all of which damage an exterior. A dust-proof cover cuts the cleaning down to almost nothing before the season starts.
Custom Fit for Optimal Protection:
A cover made for your model fits properly and covers everything. Use the size charts for a standard cover, or ask us and we’ll size it for you.
Easy Installation and Removal:
Look for elastic hems, adjustable straps and reinforced tie-downs, so it goes on and comes off securely without damaging either the cover or the RV.
Additional Considerations:
- Ventilation — a cover needs airflow, or moisture collects underneath it
- Material — durable and weather-resistant
- Storage — keep the cover somewhere dry and cool when it’s not on
- Maintenance — inspect it regularly for tears
A Smart Investment
Investing in a high-quality RV cover and following proper care guidelines extends the life of the RV and keeps you camping for longer.
