Let's Cover It...RVs

It is the First Day of Autumn and RVers everywhere are thinking about storing their pride and joy until spring. RV Covers are a subject of great debate among motorhome and trailers owners around the country. There are misconceptions about RV covers that have given them a bad name over the years. Many of the issues or problems that people have had in the past with an RV cover stem not from the fact that they used a cover, but from the TYPE of cover that they used:

FABRIC
As with a car cover, an RV cover absolutely must breathe. If the cover allows moisture to accumulate between it and the vehicle, then damage to the vehicle is inevitable. In the past, many people have chosen inferior materials to cover their vehicles and have had an unsatisfying experience as a result. Most notably is the use of the age old "blue tarp" as a protective vehicle cover. Most "tarps" are waterproof and that is good...if you're covering a stack of firewood or keeping rain out of a hole in your home's roof caused by a storm; but not if you're trying to protect your vehicle from the elements. Thus, many people have used the "tarp" and experienced damage from trapped moisture and the tarp fabric itself and have sworn off the use of a protective vehicle cover for good. There are several premium fabrics on the market today that allow for evaporation of heat and moisture while protecting the vehicle from damaging UV rays and other environmental hazards. Fabric choices based on local climate and weather conditions can be considered as well as overall cover weight when considering which one would be right for you.

DESIGN

You really have two choices when it comes to RV cover design...custom and universal. As with anything that is "universal", there is always an element of uncertainty. With an RV cover, this uncertainty usually translates into a cover that does not fit the vehicle securely. This condition mostly likely will lead to the cover being damaged due to movement which in turn can lead to the vehicle being damaged by the cover. With a custom cover, you have the ability to designate the size your cover needs to be to protect your vehicle; it's that simple.

When choosing a cover, premium fabrics plus a custom fit will provide the best protection for your vehicle. Period. Granted, these are not as inexpensive as the good 'ole blue tarp, but they do the job they were designed to do...protect your vehicle.
