RV covers are very important for your road van, car or truck good overall condition. Parking your RV exposed to the snow during the time it stays parked can result in roof damage and leaks. So what’s the best way to protect your RV?
If you store your RV outside during the winter, I recommend investing in a good RV cover. I’ve used one for many years. Simply keeping the cover on during the winter is the best way to extend the life of your RV. Plus, if you’ve ever had to clean your roof in the spring, then you know how nasty your roof can get after just few months of winter weather.
Chances are, you won’t be able to cram the RV cover back into its original storage bag. In that case you can try to buy a bigger, breathable bag (for example, the ones used to store sails), or make one. Another alternative is to place the RV cover in a large plastic trash can (one with wheels will make things easier). If you choose this method, modify the bin so that it has breathing holes for moisture to pass through. You can drill a number of small holes all over the bin, or cut out sections and replace them with screen or heavy fabric. Don’t place any holes in the lid where dust and other things might fall.
If you park your rig under trees, a cover is going to reduce your maintenance of having to blow or sweep the leaves off of your rig periodically. It will also keep sap and bird droppings from damaging your RV. Most materials will help keep the UV light off of your rig to help preserve all parts and paint. Some covers also come with tire covers, which we highly recommend that you use if you are storing your rig most of the time. Many RVs have rubber roofs that are susceptible to UV damage. An RV cover can prolong the life of these rubber roofs.
You will need to be very careful when installing a cover on your RV. It is also not very easy to remove, especially if it’s wet. Very strong winds can rip your cover off, if it’s not secured properly. Find someone to help you. If you’re on the roof, it helps to have someone on the ground. Take the cover out of its box, then spread it flat on the ground. Un-clip all hooks, open all zippers, and get a good look at it. Figure out what goes where and how. It can be dangerous to climb up on the roof, so be confident of your footing, and your RV’s ability to handle your weight.
