Why You Should You Use an RV Cover

Since winter is vastly approaching, it’s almost time to say goodbye to our beloved camper until spring is finally in the air and its officially camping season again. But, if you’re a full-time RVer, you don’t have to worry. Now, covering your RV and protecting your investment should be top a priority when your camping season winds down. It may seem time consuming and pretty expensive, but it’s a good idea for many reasons, here’s why:

Why Should You Cover your RV?

• When your camper is just sitting outside in the sun, the UV rays can cause damage to paint, decals, seals and other RV components.
• Even the inside of your RV can get up to a whopping 144°F.
• If heavy snow builds up on the top of your roof, by the time the snow melts you’ll have a huge pool of water that weighs heavily on your roof structure. It even can cause water to crawl into a seal creating a leak plus a huge expense.
• The RV’s paint, graphics, and trim will fade, crack, and deteriorate.
• Also, dirt and debris collect on your RV’s roof, leaving unsightly black streaks on the side of your camper when rain rinses it off.

How Does a Cover Protect Your RV?

And here’s how an RV or trailer cover can extend the life of your RV:

• It helps protect and repel UV rays.
• Keeps the interior of your camper a lot cooler.
• Protects your RV from rain, sleet, snow, and ice, which reduces the risk of leaks.
• Guards exterior paint, graphics, and trim to minimize fading and cracking.
• Reduces build-up of dirt and debris, leaving your RV without any black streaks.
• Reduces the need for RV washings, waxing, and roof treatments which ultimately saves you money.
• Protects and preserves your investment so when it comes time to resale, your value hasn’t decreased by a lot.
