What can I do to protect my RV besides purchasing an RV cover?
RV Cover Accessories
If covered RV storage is the best fit for you, consider the following accessories to compliment your classic RV cover:
- Tire guards - Tire guards keep the rain out and protect against damaging light, heat and tire wall cracking. Cracks can cause a tire blowout - a chance you don't want to take on the highway! Tire guards come with bungee attachments to keep them from blowing away in high winds.
- Spare tire covers - Protect your spare from damage using a tire cover while parked and on the road.
- RV mask - A front-end mask for Class A motorhomes protects the nose guard from nicks, stones, scratches, and bugs while allowing for battery-tray slide out. A mask can be used with or without an RV cover. Masks should fit tight and be removed to dry if the felt backing becomes wet.
- Windshield cover - For your pickup truck, SUV, or Class C motorhome, use a windshield cover for privacy when parked. Covers also protect your windshield from the elements during storage.
- Wiper blade and mirror covers - To protect Class A wiper blades and mirrors from UV damage and aging, use wiper blade and/or mirror covers. They can be used with or without an RV cover to protect against the elements.
- Air conditioner cover - Protect your air conditioner from the weather while your RV is parked. Air conditioner covers come in a variety of sizes. Be sure to get the right fit!
- Rooftop vent covers - Vent covers insulate and block light and heat from the interior of your RV.
- RV cover patch kit - Keep a patch kit available in case of rips and tears. Your RV cover should come with a warranty, but even temporary holes or tears in the cover may cause damage to your RV in bad weather.
