I Love My Car Cover











I have been driving for over 35 years and have always taken good care of my cars. In the last few years I have been using a car cover to protect my vehicles and what a difference it has made. For many years I would spend every weekend washing and detailing my cars exterior and interior. Now with the car cover I spend time doing the things I love instead of work my weekends at home cleaning my ride. I only have to wash my car once a month and the inside also stays cooler during the summer months. It makes me think of all the time I spent trying to keep my car clean and looking good, also the money I lost when I would take it to a dealer for a trade-in. Your vehicles are an investment that will lose their value if you don't take good care of them. Like I said I would spend every weekend cleaning my car, not having a cover the exterior finish would lose it's luster and the interior would suffer from the sun and heat. Now with the car cover my vehicles hold their value for a longer time and when I would trade them in I would get a better price for them. Having a cover for my vehicles is the best investment I ever made for my cars.

There are many types of covers made for your vehicles today. There are covers for all kinds of climates and environments. If you need protection in your garage there are light weight covers made just for that. If you keep your vehicle outside in the intense sun of the Southwest there are covers made just for that too. For those that live in the Northern or Eastern part of this country there are covers to handle all the weather mother nature can throw at it. Let's first talk about the covers to protect your vehicle in your garage or in a storage building. This cover is great for keeping the dust of your car and to stop the little dings and scratches that you get when somebody is walking by it and my rub against the finish. The indoor cover will not stand up to the sun vary well and isn't waterproof, so it is recommended for indoor use only. Next we have the tyvek covers that are made to handle the sun of the Southwest. This sun-reflecting white Tyvek material provides maximum UV protection which reduces fading of a vehicles paint and interior. This space-age, lightweight Dupont Tyvek is easy to handle and store. It's long been used by contractors to protect homes during construction. HAZMAT suits are also made from Tyvek to protect people from the most harmful conditions. It is fast drying, mold and mildew resistant and will help protect a vehicle from acid rain, tree sap, dust and other harmful pollutants. Then we have the three and four layer covers made to handle all the weather conditions, they are waterproof and have been UV treated to stand up to the sun. The weather in the wet and coldest parts of the country need a cover like this. From Alaska to New York the three and four layer covers will stand up to weather to protect your vehicles.

When you are looking for a cover for your vehicle I think the Internet is the best place to shop. On the Internet you can find all the information at your finger tips and also find a complete selection on sizes for all your vehicles may it be a car, truck, motorcycle, RV etc. You will also have a source to contact them for any questions you might have before you make your purchase. If you go to a retail store like an auto parts or Walmart you will have a very limited choice of covers and the only information about the cover will be whats on the box.

I think it was the best thing I ever did to protect my vehicles and to give me more time to enjoy the weekends doing the things I love. So get a vehicle cover and it will pay of itself by keeping your vehicles value and saving you money in maintenance.

I have had many people tell me that the tyvek cover is the best for the sun and heat. There are a few things that I would like to tell you about this cover. The tyvek cover is a one layer cover, it is light weight and can be easily damaged. When you are ready to put your cover on make sure there are no sharp edges or corners that can slice the cover as you pull it over you vehicle. That is the only complaint about this cover.

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.

Vehicle Covers A Good Choice








Making the choice to get a vehicle cover is a good plan, there are many reasons to cover your vehicles, I will break down these reasons in this article. In general when you buy a vehicle cover for your car, truck, motorcycle, boat or other RV or ATV you are making a wise decision to protect your asset and the value of the vehicle. There are many cover company's out there today so choosing the right cover from the right company can be hard sometimes. I will also talk about how to find the right cover and company to buy your vehicle cover from.

Why is buying a vehicle cover a good idea? First you are protecting your vehicles value, next you are helping keep its resale or trade-in value and last of all you are keeping your vehicle looking the best it can by keeping it cleaner, having to wax and wash it less, and helping to keep all those dings and scratches away.

When you decided to look for a cover for your vehicle, the first thing to consider is where you will be covering this vehicle. Will it be inside or outside or even both. What is your location, is it mostly sunny or rainy or both. If you are covering your vehicle in your garage or under a carport you will have to decide if you need a light weight cover or a three or four layer cover that will also help when something rubs or bumps up against your vehicle. If under a carport you may have rain coming in on your vehicle. This scenario would require a waterproof cover. Some of you will have your vehicle outside all the time, the covers to be used for outside protection have UV and waterproof treatments to make them stand up to the harsh environmental conditions, therefore, the dust cover is not the best choice for this.

Some of you will be living in areas that have heavy winters to contend with. The three and four layer covers will be needed for this. They work both inside and outside and are treated to withstand all that mother nature can throw at it whether it's sun, rain, snow or ice. Some of you will be in the Southern part of the country where there is intense sunshine as well as rain to deal with. The Tyvek cover is light weight and white in color to reflect the sun and heat. It is also water resistant. Then there is the three layer waterproof covers which will work well here but if you have a vehicle that is new or just repainted or maybe a collector vehicle you will want the four layer cover with the fleece lining for total protection of your vehicles finish. Something to note is if you have just repainted your vehicle you will want to wait at least three months until the finish has hardened before using a cover.

All of the vehicle covers can be used inside and out, but some of the light weight covers are best used inside only with light outdoor use. The warranty will not cover a dust cover for outside use. This cover will fall apart after a short time in the sun, weather or high winds. These dust covers state that they are for inside use. The warranty for the three and four layer covers including the waterproof covers will cover their use outside. So make the right choice of use and you will have the proper protection. The different types of vehicle covers come with warranties of different lengths, so make sure you check the warranty before you buy.

Choosing the right company is up to you but there is a few things you should look for. You can find these cover suppliers in retail stores or on the Internet. I know that the suppliers on the Internet have a larger selection to choose from and they will have more information about their covers then just looking at a box in your retail store. The one advantage the retail store has is if you want to return the cover you just take it back to the store you bought it at, whereas if you buy a cover over the Internet and its not right you will have to pay the shipping to return it. Most of the Internet sites have a 30 day money back guaranty. And if you have a warranty return you will have to pay the return shipping even if you bought it at the retail store. If you are computer savvy that is the way to look for a vehicle cover. You will have all the resources to answer all your questions about the covers either by e-mail or using the phone. Most company's have toll free numbers or online help. If you take the time to check your order with the company to make sure it is the right cover for you, you won't have to worry about returning it.

Car Covers In Todays Economy








I'm writing this article because a study shows that less and less vehicle covers are being sold today. I'm sure it's because of today's economy, I find this hard to understand. There are many new cars being bought and sold and used cars also. The one thing our economy is doing is to slow down the retail market due to lots of people loosing there jobs and the high cost of living. But if you have a car or other vehicle that has been a large or small investment for you it is only smart to protect it's value so if you need to sell or trade them down the line there value will have remained high. The number one overall item you can purchase for your vehicle may it be a car, truck, SUV, van or other type of vehicle, is a cover. The car cover will be beneficial to the protection of it's value in many ways. First it will protect your cars finish from a multitude of attackers, the sun is one of the worst causes of damage to your cars exterior finish. The UV rays will cause oxidation of the paint, also dry out all the rubber and plastic on the outside of your vehicle. Next the environment will also damage your cars exterior with acid rain, chemical fallout, bird droppings and the wind blowing sand and dirt and other objects against your cars exterior finish. There are many enemies of your car from the environment to the parking lots at work also the kids in the street, and if you park your vehicle in your carport or garage you will still need to cover it. Having your car under a carport or garage you may think it is protected, but there are many ways your car can be damaged even there. In the garage one of the most common is somebody just walking by and they may rub up against you car or even worst there keys or some metal on there pants comes in contact with your cars finish and there is just one more scratch. In the carport the number one damage to your vehicle is the car doors next to your car, how many times have you seen the telltale marks on your door from the car next to you. Doesn't that just irritate you. If you were to have a body shop give you an estimate for fixing any of the things I just mentioned you would find that you could have bought not only one cover but as many as two, three, four or even five covers. Next there is the interior of your vehicle, having your dash, seats, Cd's, DVDs and other valuable items exposed to the sun and heat that can build up fast in hot weather will speed up there destruction. You would be surprised that a cover will drop your interior temperatures by as much as 20 degrees. There are covers made just for the Southwest States that can even drop the temperatures more. Not only will these covers keep the interior temps down they will keep prying eyes from seeing your costly accessories like high priced stereos, speakers, video displays and more. So it's only smart to buy a cover for your vehicle to help protect it from losing it's value and being broken into. Even in today's economy you need to spend money on a car cover to protect your investment. Just like you spend money on cloths, food, gas, insurance and mortgage. The car covers are just as important. You have car insurance to protect you car, and you have home owners insurance to protect your home, you should also have a cover to protect your vehicles from the damage that they will most definitely receive. The cost of a vehicle cover is well worth it. Think about this article and I'm sure you will agree with me, that it's not that much money to spend for the overall value you will receive.
