Class A Motorhome RV Cover - Installation Guide

This installation guide has been created specifically for your Class A RV Cover. Because Class A motorhomes are larger and more complex than other RV types, this guide provides detailed steps on what’s included with your cover, how to prepare your RV, safe methods to install and remove your Class A cover, cleaning tips to maximize durability, and answers to the most common questions from Class A RV owners.

What's Included

  • 1 x Class A RV Cover
  • 1 x Storage Bag
  • 4 x Rain Gutters Protector
  • 1 x Ladder Cap
  • 1 x Repair Patch
  • 1 x Weighted Buckles Bag

Pre-Installation Checklist

  • Clean your Class A motorhome thoroughly before covering. Removing dirt and debris helps prevent scratches and extends the life of the cover.
  • Inspect for sharp edges such as mirrors, rain gutters, riveted panels, or awning corners. Pad these areas as needed. Always use the included gutter protectors and ladder cap to prevent wear and damage on larger Class A rigs.

How to Install Your Class A RV Cover

  • STEP 1: Unpack the Class A cover on a flat, clean surface like a driveway. Release any straps or buckles.
  • STEP 2: Lay the cover so the roof section is facing upward.
  • STEP 3: Locate the tag marked “FRONT” to identify the cover’s orientation.
  • STEP 4: Fold both side panels inward toward the middle roof area. Roll the cover from back to front.
  • STEP 5: Lift the rolled cover to the roof at the front of your motorhome. Because Class A RVs are tall, assistance or a ladder is usually required.
  • STEP 6: Unroll the cover from front to back. Let the side panels drape down the sides of your RV.
  • STEP 7: Carefully descend the ladder, installing the ladder cap protector on your way. Pull the cover down evenly. (Note: While climbing on the roof is not required, it often makes installation faster on large Class A RVs. Always use caution.)
  • STEP 8: Straighten the cover and center it over the RV before fastening straps. Secure the bottom corners first, then adjust the straps and buckles to remove slack.
  • STEP 9: Secure all remaining middle and bottom straps. Use the weighted toss bag to guide straps underneath your RV.
  • STEP 10: Once secured, your Class A RV cover should fit snugly and remain stable in light wind.

Warnings

  • Do NOT enter or occupy your motorhome while the cover is installed.
  • Do NOT start or run the RV engine while covered.
  • Do NOT attempt installation in strong winds.
  • Do NOT install while standing on a wet or slippery roof.

Due to the size of Class A motorhomes, installation is safest with two people. Always communicate with your helper during the process to avoid accidents. Team installation also makes removal much easier.

How to Remove Your Class A RV Cover

Removing your Class A RV cover is simple: follow the installation steps in reverse. Carefully fold and roll the cover tightly before returning it to the storage bag. This ensures it fits properly and is ready for the next use.

Important: Never store your cover while it is wet. Damp storage can lead to mildew and permanent damage.

How to Clean Your Class A RV Cover

Your Class A RV cover should only be cleaned by hand. For best results, install it on your motorhome, then rinse with a garden hose to remove surface debris. Use a soft cloth with a mild multi-purpose cleaner to gently wash. Rinse thoroughly and let the cover air dry before storage.

Cleaning Warnings

  • Do NOT use harsh soaps, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  • Do NOT machine wash or iron the cover.
  • Always air-dry fully before storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which side is the front of the cover?

Every Class A cover includes a white tag labeled “FRONT.” If the tag is missing, the tagged end is still the front of the cover.

What are the vertical zippers for?

The zippers allow access panels, so you can enter your Class A RV without fully removing the cover. Some models include rear zippers for back entry access as well.

What are the built-in Velcro straps inside the cover?

These straps keep the zippered access panels secured in place when opened, preventing them from collapsing.

Repair Patch Instructions

Use the included repair patch for small punctures or tears (under 3 inches) in flat areas of the fabric.

When to Use

  • Minor pinholes, scuffs, or tears
  • Clean cuts caused by sharp edges
  • Extra reinforcement around high-stress points like gutters

How to Apply

  1. Lay cover flat and clean/dry the damaged area.
  2. Trim loose threads; round patch corners.
  3. Ensure patch overlaps damage by 1–2 inches.
  4. Peel backing, align, and press firmly.
  5. Smooth from center outward to remove air bubbles.
  6. Allow 12–24 hours to cure before reinstalling cover.

Tip: For added strength, apply a patch on both sides of the fabric.

Your Class A RV Cover comes with one repair patch. Additional patches can be purchased here.

How do I install the ladder cap?

Wrap the ladder cap protector over your RV ladder and secure with Velcro. This prevents the ladder from rubbing or tearing the cover. One cap is included; extras are available for purchase.

How do I install the rain gutter protectors?

Place each protector over the gutter and secure with Velcro. Using all four protectors prevents sharp edges from ripping your cover.

Extra rain gutter protectors can be purchased here.

How do I use the weighted buckle bag?

Fill the toss bag with sand or rocks, clip it to a strap, and toss it underneath the RV. This makes threading the straps under a large Class A much easier.

Extra toss bags can be purchased here.
