RV Cover Guide

Measuring

To ensure the best fit possible, it is necessary to measure your RV. Please see below for manufacturer-specific instructions for measuring.  

Measuring for a Carver Cover

Carver Industries

When choosing a Carver cover, measure from bumper to bumper. There is no need to include ladders, spare tires or air conditioner units. These items will be taken into account and accommodated in the cover pattern. Hitches and propane tanks are items that are not typically covered.  Propane tank covers are available separately. We recommend completing your own measurements rather than relying on the specifications given by the RV manufacturer. Carver covers are made to fit the size listed. If your unit is any longer than what is listed, even by an inch, you should order the next larger size.

  6. Secure the elasticized hems under the front and rear end of the RV.

Care

How to Prolong the Life of Your Cover

  • Avoid letting water or snow stand on the cover.
  • Always tie cover down securely.
  • Before installing the cover, take the precaution of padding areas that could snag or tear; such as mirrors and awning mounts.
  • Allow the cover to dry thoroughly before folding or storage.

Cleaning Your RV Cover

RV covers may be cleaned by spraying with a hose and/or using a solution of mild soap and water, and a soft brush.  Rinse with hose and allow to dry completely.
