Do I need to know the make and model of my RV to get a cover?

No, the best way to make sure your cover fits properly is to physically measure your RV. If you know the make and model, the manufacturer specifications are generally different than what you really have. So for a piece of mind, it is a good idea that you always physically go and measure your RV. Use the suggestions we offer below to measure.

How do I measure my coach for an RV cover?

Measure RV from end to end (including bumpers, spare tire and ladder) to determine the RV Cover needed for proper fit. From our experiences, Do not rely on manufacturer's specifications. The RV Cover should have a loose fit.

* If you're going to get a GOLDLINE cover and the size of your RV happens to land on the cusp of a size change we always suggest you move up to the larger size, for instance if you have a 22' RV exactly and the cover sizes are 20-22' and 22-24' you will take the larger of the two size brackets.

* With the DELUXE covers, they are a little bigger in length than the foot size that says it will fit. You can see the inch size in length at the detail page. So measure your rigs length in inches and match it up against our length size.

How about air conditioners and other roof equipment?

All of our covers are meant to go over air conditioners. The cover will just ride a little higher on each side of your RV where the roof equipment is. You do not add the air conditioner as part of your overall height.

 

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 our customers. NDC takes no responsibility for the liability involved in climbing on the roof. 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. Top
