RV Covers for Hot Summer Days
Come December, many motorhomes head home to celebrate the holidays with family and friends. During the winter months, RVs slow down as people wait out the winter, but the “RVer Snowbird” has the luxury of heading south for the winter to enjoy the warmer temperatures in Florida, Arizona and Mexico. The “snowbirds” have figured out how to have the best of both worlds. They leave their extremely cold year-round home and head south, where they store and use their RV as a winter getaway home to enjoy the southern warmth. These snowbirds fly south to their trailer park right after the holidays to enjoy the warm winters until the snow clears from their northern home.
When the snow melts and it’s time to leave your winter home, the Snow Bird RVer wants to leave your motorhome, fifth wheel or travel trailer protected with a sliding RV cover that will keep your winter home clean and free of dust, dirt and dents. and scratches. They want a storage cover that is water repellent and will protect their RV from the occasional southern rain storms, but more importantly the “snow bird” RVer needs to find a cover that can withstand the harsh UV rays of the sun what will destroy the exterior of their RV while they are back home.
There are only two RV covers that can provide protection from summer heat and UV rays for your RV, fifth wheel, or travel trailer. all the rest willpower disintegrates at extreme temperatures. A slide-on dust cover (like the Traveler or Poly Pro 1) will protect the RV for a while, but it’ll be in shreds around your trailer when you return. This type of cover I can’t Withstands the extreme heat your RV will encounter while you’re away. Top tri-layer/single-layer covers (like the Poly Pro 3 Deluxe or Expedition) claim to provide all-weather protection, but they won’t be able to take the heat either. They may still be covering your RV when you get home to the South, but most likely only parts of the cover will still be covering your RV. If you invest your money in any of these covers you will be replacing the cover every year.
What you need is the protection of the best coating that will not disintegrate after 6 to 8 months of UV exposure. The two covers that can withstand heat are the Goldline RV cover and the PermaPRO RV cover. The Goldline RV cover is manufactured by Eevelle in Carlsbad, California. The Goldline cover is a made-to-order RV cover that comes in two colors: Desert Tan or Silver Cloud Grey. Since this is a custom made, semi-custom camper or trailer cover, it will take up to 4 weeks before it can be delivered to your southern address. This Goldline Trailer Cover is rated the #1 RV Cover. #1 by customers and dealers alike. These RV storage covers are made from a strong yet flexible fabric that will outlast all other RV covers. The Goldline cover is made from an extra plush, water-resistant Tru-Weave fabric with a Durapel finish that provides ultra-durable UV protection and the Goldline cover is backed by the best and longest 5-year warranty.
PermaPro RV cover is distributed by Classic Accessories in Kent, Washington. PermaPRO cover is made from the newest extra-strength ripstop fabric, the first RV cover fabric to claim tear resistance. Not only is it tear resistant, but it also repels water, protects against sun damage by blocking UV rays, and even provides protection from snow if needed. The PermaPRO cover is also available for Extra Tall RVs that are slightly taller than the usual 9 foot RVs. Class A RVs and fifth wheels that are up to 11 feet tall require an extra height RV cover. The PermaPRO cover, like lower-end RV covers, provides your RV with protection from dirt, dust, and scratches, and is protected by a 4-year warranty.
As winter slowly melts and the warmer days of spring arrive, it will be time for the snowbirds to begin preparing to fly back north to the far reaches of their home year-round. Remember that if you really want to give your trailer the best RV cover with the best UV protection, you are going to have to spend a few more bucks and buy the Goldline RV Cover or the PermaPRO RV Cover. Those are the only two RV trailer covers that will still protect your RV when you return to your winter grounds next year.
