Covers for your RV

The ideal storage place for your RV or Motorhome is in a garage but many of us do not have that choice. There are a number of full covers available from dealers but you may wish to check with your manufacturer first.

When we questioned our motorhome manufacturer (Monaco), we were advised not to use a cover for two reasons, abrasion of the cover against the clear coat on the paint and the problem with mildew buildup.

We have tried using a large tarp over the entire top to stop the leaves from staining the top of the coach but I'm not sure the effort was worth what we gained! Cleaning the top might be easier than getting the tarp on top and then anchored down.

Obviously a good wax job just might be the best protection of all when a garage or carport are not available
