The Ultimate Buying Guide for Your RV Camper Cover
Protecting your recreational vehicle (RV) or camper is a smart investment. A good cover shields your RV from sun, rain, snow, and dirt. This guide helps you pick the best one.
Key Features to Look For
When shopping, check these important features first. They make a big difference in how well your cover works.
1. Sizing and Fit
- Measure Twice: Always measure your RV’s length, height, and width accurately. A cover that is too small will stretch and rip. A loose cover will flap in the wind and rub your paint off.
- Model Specific vs. Universal: Some covers fit specific RV types (like travel trailers or fifth wheels). Others are more universal. Know what shape your RV is.
2. Weather Resistance
- Waterproofing: The cover must keep rain and snow out. Look for strong seams that are taped or sealed.
- UV Protection: Strong sunlight breaks down RV paint and interior materials. Good covers include special coatings to block UV rays.
3. Ventilation
This is very important but often forgotten. If air cannot move under the cover, moisture gets trapped. This trapped moisture causes mold and mildew to grow inside your RV. Look for built-in vents or mesh panels that allow air to flow freely.
Important Materials Matter
The material determines how long the cover lasts and how well it protects your RV. Different materials offer different levels of toughness.
Top Material Choices
- Polyester: This is very common. Look for high-denier polyester (like 300D or higher). Higher denier means thicker and stronger fabric.
- Polypropylene (or Poly-coated fabrics): These materials resist water well and are often lighter weight.
- Multi-Layer Systems: The best covers use multiple layers. One layer handles water, another handles UV, and the inner layer is soft to protect the finish.
Factors That Improve or Reduce Quality
Quality isn’t just about the main fabric. The small details often show the true quality of the cover.
Quality Boosters:
- Reinforced Stress Points: Corners and areas near sharp edges should have extra padding or stronger stitching. This stops rips from starting.
- Strong Straps and Buckles: You need secure ways to attach the cover, especially for windy conditions. Plastic buckles break easily; metal or high-quality plastic buckles last longer.
- Soft Interior Lining: A soft inner layer prevents the cover material from scratching your RV’s paint while it moves slightly in the wind.
Quality Reducers:
- Very thin, single-layer materials wear out quickly.
- Poorly stitched seams fail after the first heavy storm.
- Flimsy tie-down systems mean the cover might blow off entirely.
User Experience and Use Cases
How easy is the cover to put on and take off? Think about where you store your RV.
Ease of Use
Some large covers require two people to install. Check if the cover has handles to help lift and position it correctly. Zippers or access panels are helpful if you need to quickly grab something from inside without taking the entire cover off.
Use Cases
- Long-Term Storage (Winter): If your RV sits unused all winter, you need the heaviest, most waterproof cover available. Ventilation must be excellent.
- Short-Term Parking (Summer Sun): If the RV is parked at your home during the summer, UV protection and ease of removal for weekend trips are the most important factors.
10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About RV Camper Covers
Q: How often should I clean my RV cover?
A: Clean your cover once or twice a year. Use mild soap and water. Always let the cover dry completely before storing or putting it back on the RV. Dirt trapped underneath can scratch the paint.
Q: Will a cover void my RV warranty?
A: Generally, no. Most manufacturers allow covers. However, if the cover causes damage due to improper installation (like trapping moisture), that specific damage might not be covered.
Q: Should I cover my RV roof or the whole unit?
A: You should always cover the entire RV, including the roof. The roof is the most vulnerable part to water damage and sun exposure.
Q: How do I stop raccoons or critters from getting under the cover?
A: Secure the bottom straps very tightly. You can also place weights (like sandbags) along the bottom edge, especially near the wheels, to block access points.
Q: What is the difference between water-resistant and waterproof?
A: Water-resistant means it sheds light rain for a while. Waterproof means it blocks heavy, sustained rain and standing water. For RVs, you need waterproof material.
Q: Can I put a cover on an RV that has an AC unit on the roof?
A: Yes, most modern covers are designed to fit over rooftop AC units. Make sure you buy a cover specifically sized for your RV type (e.g., a travel trailer cover that accommodates a roof unit).
Q: How much should I expect to spend?
A: Prices vary widely. Basic, lightweight covers might start around \$100, but high-quality, multi-layer, custom-fit covers for large fifth wheels can cost \$400 or more.
Q: When should I cover my RV?
A: Cover your RV whenever it will sit unused for more than a few weeks, especially during intense sun, heavy rain, or winter months.
Q: Is it better to use a tarp or a dedicated RV cover?
A: A dedicated RV cover is much better. Tarps are not breathable, which traps moisture and damages the RV. Tarps also flap loudly and aggressively scratch the paint.
Q: What is the best way to store the cover when it is off the RV?
A: When you remove the cover, fold it loosely and store it in a dry, rodent-free area. Make sure it is completely dry before folding to prevent mildew growth while in storage.
