When December rolls around, many RVs head home to celebrate the holidays with family and friends. During the winter months, RVs slow down as people wait for the winter to pass, but the “RVer snowbird” has the luxury of heading south for the winter to enjoy the warmer temperatures in Florida, Arizona, and Mexico. The “snow birds” have figured out how to have the best of both worlds. They leave their extremely cold home year-round and head south, where they store and use their RV as a winter getaway to enjoy the warmth of the south. These snowbirds fly south to their trailer park right after the holidays to enjoy the warm winters until the snow clears from their northern home.
When the snow melts and it’s time to leave your winter home, the Snow Bird RVer wants to leave your motorhome, fifth wheel or travel trailer protected with a sliding RV cover that will keep your winter home clean and dust free. dirt and dents. and scratches. They want a storage cover that is water repellant and will protect their RV from occasional southern rain storms, but more importantly, the “snowbird” RVer needs to find a cover that can withstand the harsh UV rays of the sun that will destroy the outside of their RV while they are back home.
There are only two RV covers that can provide summer heat and UV protection for your RV, fifth wheel or travel trailer. all the rest Will disintegrates in extreme temperatures. A slide-on dust cover (like the Traveler or Poly Pro 1) will protect the RV for a while, but it’ll be in tatters around your trailer when you get back. This type of cover can not Withstands the extreme heat your RV will encounter while you’re away. Top three-ply/single-ply covers (like Poly Pro 3 Deluxe or Expedition) claim to provide all-weather protection, but they won’t handle the heat either. They may still be covering your RV when you get home to the South, but most likely only parts of the cover are still covering your RV. If you invest your money in any of these covers you will be replacing the cover every year.
What you need is the best cover protection that won’t disintegrate after 6-8 months of UV exposure. The two covers that can resist heat are the Goldline RV cover and the PermaPRO RV cover. The Goldline RV Cover is manufactured by Eevelle in Carlsbad, California. The Goldline Cover is a custom built RV cover that comes in two colors: Desert Tan or Silver Cloud Gray. Since this is a semi-custom, custom-built trailer or motorhome cover, it will take up to 4 weeks before it can be delivered to your southern address. This Goldline trailer cover is rated the #1 RV cover. #1 by customers and distributors alike. These RV storage covers are made from a strong yet flexible fabric that will outlast all other RV covers. The Goldline cover is made from an extra plush, water-resistant Tru-Weave fabric with a Durapel finish that provides ultra-durable UV protection, and the Goldline cover is backed by the best and longest 5-year warranty.
The PermaPro RV cover is distributed by Classic Accessories in Kent, Washington. The PermaPRO cover is made from the newest extra-tough ripstop fabric, the first RV cover fabric to claim tear resistance. Not only is it tear-resistant, it repels water, protects against sun damage by blocking UV rays, and even provides snow protection if needed. The PermaPRO cover is also available for extra tall RVs that are slightly taller than the usual 9 foot RV. Class A and fifth wheel RVs up to 11 feet tall require an extra height RV cover. The PermaPRO cover, like lower-end RV covers, provides your RV with protection from dirt, dust and scratches and is protected by a 4-year warranty.
As winter slowly melts away and the warmer days of spring arrive, the time will come for the snowbirds to begin preparing to fly back north to the far reaches of their year-round home. Remember that if you really want to give your trailer the best RV cover with the best UV protection, you’ll have to spend a few more dollars and buy either the Goldline RV Cover or the PermaPRO RV Cover. Those are the only two RV trailer covers that will continue to protect your RV when it returns to its wintry grounds next year.
