2. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the cover's performance and longevity. Always ensure your RV is clean and free of sharp edges before installation.
2.1. Measuring Your RV
To ensure proper fitment, accurately measure the length of your RV. This measurement should include the bumper but not the hitch. If your RV has a roof-mounted AC unit, add 1 foot to the total length. Do not rely solely on the RV model number or manufacturer-stated length, as actual dimensions may vary.

2.2. Pre-Installation Steps
- Clean Your RV: Wash and dry your RV thoroughly to prevent dirt and debris from scratching the surface under the cover.
- Cover Sharp Edges: Use the included gutter covers with sponge for sharp areas like gutters, ladder rungs, and antenna bases to prevent tearing.
- Identify Front and Rear: Locate the 'Front' and 'Rear' labels on the cover.
2.3. Installation Procedure
- Unroll the Cover: Place the rolled-up cover on the roof of your RV, ensuring the 'Front' label is facing the front of the vehicle. Carefully unroll the cover from front to back.
- Drape Down Sides: Gently pull the sides of the cover down over the RV. Avoid dragging the cover across sharp edges.
- Secure Straps: Utilize the weighted buckle toss-bag to easily pass the bottom straps under the RV. Connect and tighten all front, end, and side buckle straps. The adjustable tension panels and elasticized hem corners will help achieve a custom fit.
- Install Tire and Jack Covers: Place the tire covers over your RV tires and the tongue jack cover over the front jack for additional protection.
3. Features and Operation
3.1. Durable Material Construction
The RV cover features an upgraded 5-ply non-woven fabric top panel, blended with Anti-UV Composite and a waterproof membrane. The sides are constructed from 110g non-woven fabric. This multi-layer design provides superior resistance to water, UV rays, and tearing, contributing to the longevity of both the cover and your RV.

3.2. Windproof Upgrade
The cover incorporates a windproof upgrade with two extra-long straps and a front cross-strap panel. These features, combined with inner waterproof straps and buckles at the bottom, enhance the cover's ability to withstand strong winds and prevent displacement. The air vent system further reduces wind stress and allows for maximum evaporation of moisture.
