Car Covers And Christmas Holidays

Hi everybody this blog has been about sharing information on covers, from the simple car cover to the large RV covers. And it's that time of year to stop and thank all the people that have helped our websites and blogs do so well. From all of us at D. R. Global Marketing thank you and have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Now that we have said our thank you we need to carry on with the cover information highway. This time of year there are more then a few good reasons to purchase a cover for your vehicles and RVs. Just look outside and what do you see? If you are in the Eastern part of this country you probably see snow and ice. If your from the Midwest you will be looking at either snow or rainy conditions, then there is the Southwest part of this great country and yes the sun is still shining bright there. If you are from this part of the country count yourself as one of the lucky ones. There are covers for both vehicles and RVs that are made just for the intense sun UV rays. These covers are called the Tyvek cover it uses a material made by Dupont. This material will stand up to the sun much better than any other cover material in the Southern part of our country. It is white to reflect the sun and help keep your vehicle or RV cool on the inside. The Tyvek cover is a single layer cover that provides both waterproofing and UV protection. I recommend this cover to all our customers that live in the Southwest and any place that needs that extra protection from the sun. Now for the customers that live in the Northwest, Midwest or East and far North. There are covers made for you in mind. First the 3 layer waterproof cover will provide great protection from snow, ice, rain, damp conditions and long periods of seasonal storage. This cover is made with three layers the first layer is made of a durable material the middle layer is a waterproof but breathable material and the third layer is a protective material. This cover is an excellent cover for the cooler and wet parts of this country and others. Then there's the four layer covers they have all the properties that a three layer cover has plus a fourth inside layer of fleece, this fleece will protect your clear coat finish on your show cars, brand new vehicles and any type of car, truck ,SUV, van or station wagon you want to give that little extra love to.
Well I think there are many good reasons to cover your vehicles both in the Winter months and Summer months and that is to protect your investment. At the price we are paying for our vehicles and RVs you need to protect them from the normal day to day nicks and scratches as well as environmental exposure from acid rain to bird droppings that can fade your paints finish.

RV Covers Now That Summer Is Over

Now that summer is over you should start thinking about an RV cover for your travel trailer, 5th Wheel, Class A, Class B, Toy hauler or any other RV vehicles you might have. You have spent this year enjoying your RVs and now that summer is over it's time to get them ready to store for the winter season. There are several things that need to be done before the cold weather gets here. The first thing to do is drain all the water from your storage tanks, heater and water lines. Now fill it back up with an RV antifreeze that you can get at any RV supply store. Then go through all your storage and remove anything that can freeze or be damaged by the cold weather. Once that is done, give it a good cleaning inside and out so it will be ready for the next time you take it out. Before you store it go down the service list and check all the items that need to be serviced. Now the last thing to do is park it and install the Wheel Covers and RV Cover.

There is a very good reason to cover your RV, the sun, rain and wind can damage not only the outside but the interior also. The suns UV rays can damage all the plastic and rubber on your RV exterior, the sun can also damage the inside like the curtains, counter tops, rugs and anything else that high heat can effect. Having a cover on your RV will stop the suns UV rays from damaging your RV finish, without a cover your exterior paint, plastic and rubber will start to oxidize from the sun speeding up it's destruction. RV covers also cut down on heat build up inside your RV. And a good set of RV wheel covers will keep your tires from cracking and drying out in the sun which consequently will speed up the need for replacement.

There are many RV cover manufacturers like Gold Line, Expedition, Adco, Aqua Shed, Traveler, Tyvek just to mention a few, so picking the right cover can be confusing sometimes. If you do your homework and go to each manufacturers website you can compare the covers and warranties, then start looking for the best price. Some sites may have free shipping which will get you the cover you want for less and will be happy with for years to come. Doing a little work to find the right cover for your RV will pay for itself in the long run. RV covers will keep your RVs looking and lasting a lot longer. Having a cover on your RV shows that you are a person that cares about your RV, not to mention protecting your investment.

Car Covers In The Wet And Cold Weather

Hello again time for another article about car covers. This week we will talk about the wet weather and how your car cover handles it. I live in Northern Arizona and we have been getting a lot of rain this year during the monsoon season. I have a waterproof cover for my Jeep and when it rains there is some moisture under it, I thought it was waterproof and it is, the moisture I'm seeing is condensation from the temperature change when the rainy weather come blowing in. Even though I live in Northern Arizona the day time temps can get up there around 102 degrees some days. And when the rainy weather come the temps will drop by 20 to 30 degrees and this can cause condensation to form under the cover. So it may look as if the cover is leaking but it's not, if you give it some time after the rain has stopped and things start to dry out the cover is made to breath and this will wick away the condensation from under the cover. If you have a rain storm and the cover is wet and the day turns to night you will defiantly have condensation under the cover in the morning. The drop in temps will cause this to happen and if you can leave the cover on you will find it will dry out underneath in just a little while. If you live in parts of the country that gets very cold like below freezing you may find your cover stuck to the vehicle, this happens when during the day the sun warms up your vehicles finish and causes condensation to form under the cover and as the temps fall below freezing the cover freezes to your vehicles finish. If you have time to let the cover warm up it will come off your vehicle with out hurting the cover. But if you need to get the cover off right now we suggest pouring hot water on the cover to help it release from the finish. If you try to force the cover off you will damage it and it may lose it's waterproofing capabilities.

There are two different types or waterproof covers, first there is the water resistant cover, this cover isn't waterproof but it will help stop some of the water from getting underneath the cover and still will breath to help dry out after the storm. The true waterproof cover is 100% waterproof meaning that no water can get under the cover, but you will see condensation under it so don't think it is leaking because it's not. It also can breath and will dry out after just a little time. I get this question a lot about waterproof covers and they always think it's leaking, so then I have to explain about the condensation factor. These water resistant and waterproof covers are also mildew and mold resistant and UV treated to stand up in all kinds of weather. When your cover gets wet you should try to dry it out before you fold it up or stuff it in the storage bag, this will help it to last longer and to maintain the waterproof treatment as well as the mold and UV treatment. We suggest if you can to leave the cover on the car until it is dry or if you must take it off wet, to lay it out unfolded so it can dry before storing it away.

I hope this information has been helpful in answering some of your questions and explaining some proper care of your covers. If you would like more information about vehicle covers and accessories please visit us at http://www.clickitcoverit.com

Summer and the RV Covers

It's almost summer time and do you have your RV cover yet. On June 21 it will be the first day of summer and many of you will be heading off to the the woods, lakes and beaches of America. Some of you have your RVs stored away in storage yards and some of you are going to buy a new RV this summer. One way or another you will need a cover for your RV either a new one for that new RV or a replacement for the old cover that has seen better days. There are many reasons to be covering your RV's. The first thing that comes to mind is to protect your RV from the rains that contain chemicals that can corrode the aluminum and wreak havoc on your finish. The sun UV rays will also oxidize your finish and dry out your plastic and rubber parts in very little time. It only makes sense that if you plan to spend from $30.000.00 to $250,000.00 on your new RV that you should have no trouble spending a couple hundred on a cover to protect your investment. There are RV covers for all types of recreational vehicles including class A, class B, class C, travel trailers, 5th wheels, toy haulers, truck campers and pop up folding trailers.

When you go looking to get that new or replacement RV cover you should look for a cover that has good quality and warranty to stand behind it. You will find that there are a lot of RV cover suppliers out there and I think the best place to look is the Internet. Looking on the world wide web you will not only find all the cover styles, models and manufacturers also the right price and warranties to choose from. There is also lots of information about the products and types of materials the market is selling today.

The RV industry has been improving on there products every year and the materials have been changing with the new technology also. If you were to go looking for an RV cover at your local RV store you will have a limited supply to select from and the information will only be as good as the salesman's knowledge at that store. I myself think that the Internet has so much more to offer. If you have a question about a certain cover almost all the websites today have a customer services number or a click and ask button to get any information you need. If you need more information just type your question in the search box and any one of the search engines will search out your answer for you.

Once you find a RV cover you like you can price shop on Google, BizRate, Shopzilla, Nextag, Pricline and more. Having RVs is a lot of work to keep them looking good you have to wash them and take care of the finish and external parts, if you were to cover your RV you would find out that there would be a lot less work keeping it looking good. So the little time it takes to cover is well worth it. Here's a little tip on how to install your RV cover.

How do you install an RV cover?

RV Covers can be installed WITHOUT climbing on the roof of your RV by utilizing stepladders. Depending on the vehicle, you may be able to save time by climbing on the roof. Below you will find a description of the process as told by one of my friends. Please note that extreme caution should be taken when climbing on top of your RV. RV Cover installation gets easier with practice. Most full size coaches can be covered and secured in under 10 minutes.

1 ) Place the Cover at the rear of the R.V. next to the ladder. Find the front of the cover on the ground.

2 ) Lower all antennas. PAD ALL SHARP EDGES AND SHARP CORNERS. Pad anything that could snag or tear a hole in the cover. Remove the antenna if possible.

3 ) Pull the front of the cover up with you as you climb up the ladder.. Once on top of the R.V., pull as much as you can towards the top, creating a pile of cover next to your feet. Once the pile gets big enough, stretch it towards the front of the RV.

4 ) Once a strip of cover is created, start at the front by pacing the cover over the corners, working your way towards the back, allowing the cover to drape over the sides of the R.V.

5 ) Once you are at the rear of the R.V., place the cover over the corner (opposite of the ladder). Climb down the ladder pulling the cover down with you. Put ladder cap (if needed) in place prior to covering the rear bumper.

6 ) Once you are on the ground, start adjusting the cover all they way around the R.V. First secure the rear corners under the R.V. and make your way around the front to do the same with the front corners.
