Recreational vehicles are the perfect method of seeing the country\u2019s great wonders and beautiful splendor. It\u2019s convenient to simply pack your bags, fill up the gas tank and hit the road in whichever direction you choose. Just don\u2019t forget to fill up the RV generator.<\/p>

However, when you are not behind the wheel, your RV needs to be stored away from the elements and protected with a cover. There are several kinds to choose from, but before buying, there are some things to consider.<\/p>\n

Material<\/h2>\n

The construction material of an RV\u00a0cover is an important factor when deciding how to protect your vehicle. And that depends on the weather. Polyester is best suited for warm, dry climates, while polyethylene and polypropylene are better for rainy or humid environments.<\/p>\n

If your RV is exposed to direct sunlight for a long period, it\u2019s better to invest in a solution-dyed acrylic that can withstand ultraviolet rays. But you don\u2019t have to cart around different covers depending on where you go. Slightly more expensive\u00a0fabrics have several layers sewn into the lining to guard against most conditions.<\/p>\n

Size and shape<\/h2>\n

A critical aspect of buying an RV cover, besides ensuring the material is sufficient, is that the cover is large enough. You want to protect as much bodywork as possible, but that doesn\u2019t mean you must completely wrap it in a blanket.<\/p>\n

Recreational vehicles come in different shapes, and your cover must be compatible with the shape of the RV, too. If not, you will struggle to get a correct fit, which can diminish the cover\u2019s usefulness.<\/p>\n

You can also use several large sheets of single coverings, but that will be tougher to apply than a premade cover for your RV type.<\/p>\n

Protection level<\/h2>\n

The sun\u2019s UV rays can be highly damaging to an RV\u2019s bodywork, which is the most significant reason you\u2019d want to cover it. But you must decide what protection level you want and which elements you are most likely to encounter.<\/p>

\n<\/div>\n

For example, you might not need a waterproof cover for humid conditions, but you\u2019ll definitely need it for the rainy season. A water-resistant cover is also preferable for snow, but a cover with some breathability is an excellent option in hot temperatures.<\/p>

Handling<\/h2>\n

Another challenge is handling the cover. When folded for storage, you can probably move it around by yourself, but consider if you\u2019ll need a second person when it comes to putting it on.\u00a0It\u2019s frustrating when you think you have one corner over the edge, only to see it slip off when you attempt the other side. Of course, some tricks can let you do this alone, but it\u2019s worth keeping in mind.<\/p>\n

Price and additional features<\/h2>\n

A simple cover is great, but it\u2019s much better if it has some extra features. Some RV covers have\u00a0tie-down straps to make them more secure and easier to apply, while others have air vents that prevent billows and air pockets from forming.<\/p>\n

But any additional feature usually means an increase in cost. You can spend anywhere from $50 to $500 on an RV cover, depending on the number of layers, protection and size.<\/p>
