Setup and Installation

Proper installation ensures maximum protection and extends the life of your RV cover. It is recommended to have at least two people for installation.

1. Prepare the RV: Clean the RV thoroughly to prevent dirt and debris from scratching the surface under the cover. Identify any sharp edges, such as ladder rungs, antenna mounts, or rain gutters. Use the provided rain gutter spout protectors and ladder cap. For other sharp points, use additional padding (e.g., foam, old towels) to prevent tears.
2. Unfold the Cover: Lay the cover out on the ground next to your RV. Identify the front and rear of the cover (it is typically labeled).
3. Position on Roof: With a partner, carefully lift the rolled-up cover onto the roof of the RV. Position it so the front of the cover aligns with the front of the RV.
4. Unroll and Drape: Slowly unroll the cover from front to back, allowing it to drape over the sides of the RV. Ensure it is centered. Avoid dragging the cover across sharp edges.
5. Secure the Front and Rear: Pull the front and rear panels down. Use the integrated buckle cinching system at the front and rear to remove slack.
6. Connect Underbelly Straps: Use the weighted buckle toss-under straps to connect the buckles on one side of the RV to the corresponding buckles on the other side, underneath the RV. Gently tighten these straps to secure the cover. Do not overtighten.
7. Adjust for Fit: Make minor adjustments to ensure the cover is evenly distributed and snug, but not overly tight, around the entire RV.

Operating the Cover

The ADCO RV cover is designed with user convenience in mind, allowing access to your RV even when covered.

• Zipper Entry Panels: The cover features multiple passenger-side zipper entry doors. These allow easy access to the RV interior without removing the entire cover. Simply unzip the desired panel and roll it up or secure it to the side.
• Air Vents: Built-in vents allow air to escape, reducing condensation and preventing billowing in moderate winds. These vents are integrated into the design and require no manual operation.
• Cinching System: The front, rear, and bottom buckle cinching system helps maintain a snug fit. Periodically check and adjust the tension of these straps to ensure the cover remains secure, especially after strong winds.

Maintenance

The ADCO Designer Series SFS Aqua Shed RV Cover is designed for durability and minimal maintenance. Regular inspection and proper care will extend its lifespan.

• Cleaning: The SFS Aqua Shed material is designed to repel water and allow air to penetrate, reducing the need for frequent cleaning. If cleaning is necessary, gently brush off loose dirt. For stubborn spots, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Allow the cover to air dry completely before folding and storing.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the cover for any signs of wear, tears, or damage, especially after severe weather. Use the provided extra adhesive reinforcement material for minor repairs.
• Storage: When not in use, ensure the cover is clean and completely dry. Fold it neatly and store it in the provided storage bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and pests.
• Sharp Edges: Continuously monitor any potential abrasion points on your RV (e.g., sharp corners, ladder, antenna) that could rub against the cover, especially in windy conditions. Re-pad these areas as needed.
