RV Storage Covers











It's that time of year again for storing your RVs and other vehicles for the winter months. It is very important to prepare your RV and recreational vehicles for the cold and wet months ahead. If you live in the Southern states just storing in the off months that you don't use them. In the Northern states you need to prepare your RV for the freezing temperatures and the wet snow and ice. The most important thing is draining your water tanks and using an antifreeze in your line to prevent them from breaking. Then there is the cover for your RVs and other recreational vehicles. Choosing the right cover can make a big difference in how your RV will stand up to the snow and ice. There are many types of RV covers out there, some are for the intense sun and other are for the wet and snow of winter. When you are looking for a cover for your RV I think that the Internet is the best source for information and selection of RV covers. Some of the things you want to do when looking for your RV cover is check the size of your RV. Measure for the bumper to the rear bumper to see exactly how long your RV is, the manufacture my say that your RV is a 26' travel trailer but when you measure it you find that it is 26'6" long and that can make a difference in picking the right size RV cover. Next check the width and height. Some of the new RVs are taller then said to be and you want to check this by measuring from the top edge to the bottom of the trailer edge. The covers come with room for your AC and racks on top so don't worry about that. the width has also changed over the years so you may find your trailer is wider and you need to check this when you are ordering the cover. If the cover measurements are not on the web site then give them a call and they will help you get the right size cover for your RV.

There are a couple of different types of materials to choose from in RV covers. The Tyvek cover works well in the southern states as it reflects the UV rays and helps to cool the interior temps. There are a couple of draw backs with this cover, when installing and removal you may rip this cover it is a single layer cover and can rip petty easily. I prefer the polypropylene woven fabrics that come in two or three layers. This material will breath and not allow condensation to build under the cover. The Recreational vehicle covers have been made for years now and they have a lot of nice features. Like venting at the top to help keep moisture out and dryness in. Zippered panels allow complete access to the door, rear and sides. Adjustable front and rear tension panels provide a custom-like fit and many more.

So this year when getting your RV ready for storage take the time to invest in a cover and you will be glad you did. When next spring comes around and you uncover you RV you will see how much the cover has done to protect your investment. Keeping it cleaner and also protecting your exterior finish from oxidation. It will also protect your interior from the suns UV rays that can damage things like your drapes, counter tops, rugs and any plastic fixtures. Also help to keep the temperatures down on the inside of your RV.

From RV large and small to your ATV and other vehicles it is a great idea to cover. Having a cover will keep them high and dry till next season when you are ready to hit the road and start having some summer fun. There are a couple of things the cover will do for you. Like protect it from the moisture and sun as well as help to keep it cleaner the next time you use it.

I find fall the best time of the year, the temps start to cool and the sun is a lot less intense. The trees start to change colors and the lawn doesn't need to be mowed as much. The kids are back in school and it gives me time to work on things around the house with less distractions. Getting your RV and other vehicles ready for storage is a little work but will pay off next season. Your RV should have antifreeze in the lines and you should check all your service items before storage. Your other vehicles won't need as much work to store. Your cars and trucks that you drive every day could us a cover also to protect them from the rain, ice and snow. It's nice to get up in the AM and instead for scraping your car windows before going to work you can just pull the cover off your vehicle and your ready to go. If your cover is wet just lay it out to dry during the day and when you get home it will be ready to put back on your car. Most of the covers are mildew resistant. There are covers that are waterproof and also UV treated to help stand up to the wide variation of climates .

When you decide to look for a cover for your RV or other vehicle the Internet is the best place to start. There you will find all the information and selection of covers for all of your vehicle choices. One thing to think about when you are looking for a cover is location, were you will be using that cover in the Northwest where it rains and or snows often or in the East were there is a lot of ice and snow. Or even in the Southern states where the sun is a factor. There are covers to handle all these climates. Next you need to check the warranties to see if the cover has a long life to protect your vehicles. and don't forget to check shipping policies to see how and when you will receive your cover. You should also check what their return and exchange policies are so there are no surprises. Some sites offer free shipping which is nice. After you have done your home work then you will be ready to purchase a cover.

I have been using covers for all my vehicles and RV toys for years and when I get ready to trade or sell them they always bring me more money for the little cost of that cover. So I think it is well worth the time and money to cover and protect your investments. You will enjoy there new look and also get more out of them when its time to upgrade to something better.

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.

Custom Car Covers a Plus or Not









There has always been a argument about whether or not the custom car cover a better buy than a semi custom car cover. Well hopefully today we will get to the bottom of this subject. There are many vehicle cover manufactures making custom covers today. They make them custom to your year, make and model of your vehicle or you can ask for custom covers made to your dimensions.

This is the UV factor when you have a light color the UV rays will be reflected away from the cover and it will last longer and keep it cooler in the hot climates. When you choose a dark color the sun's rays will be absorbed and the UV ray's will break down the material quicker and the vehicle will collect the heat in hot weather. Some of the negatives are the cost, the custom cover will cost you as much as three times as a semi custom cover. The custom cover is a tight fitting cover and when it comes to putting it on and off you will spend a lot more time doing this and those mirror pockets can be a pain in the butt. When you are ordering a custom cover the sales person or web site will try to sell you as much extras as they can this will drive the price up and even if money is no option you still will feel this in your pocket book. There are many options to choose from like logos, storage bags, stitching color, inserts, multiple color covers, treatments like UV or Waterproofing. All these extras will cost more and more. So buyer beware you can spend a lot of money on a custom cover that has warranties the same as semi covers or even shorter.

If you still need help just call or e-mail them and they will be happy to help. All the semi covers come with elastic on the front and back hem to adjust to a good fit for your vehicle, and they come with tie down grommets to us with a cable lock for security or just to help keep it snug and prevent the wind from getting under the cover causing billowing or loss of cover.
