Teardrop Trailer Camper Cover Installation Guide

This installation guide is designed specifically for your Folding Popup Trailer Cover. Folding popup campers are compact and collapsible trailers that offer a convenient balance between comfort and portability, so this guide walks you through everything you need—what's included with your cover, how to prepare your camper, the proper way to install and remove your folding popup trailer cover, tips for keeping it clean, and answers to the most common questions from folding popup camper owners.

What's Included

  • 1 x Folding Pop-Up Camper Cover
  • 1 x Storage Bag
  • 4 x Rain Gutter Protectors
  • 1 x Repair Patch
  • 1 x Weighted Buckles Bag

Pre-Installation Checklist

  • Clean your folding pop-up camper thoroughly before covering. Removing dust, dirt, and debris helps protect the exterior finish and extends the life of the cover.
  • Inspect for sharp edges such as gutters, roof corners, or mounted racks. Pad these areas if necessary. Always use the included gutter protectors to prevent damage or tearing of the cover.

How to Install Your Folding Pop-Up Camper Cover

  • STEP 1: Lay the cover on a clean, flat surface like a driveway. Undo all straps and buckles.
  • STEP 2: Spread the cover out with the roof section facing up.
  • STEP 3: Find the tag marked “FRONT” to line it up correctly.
  • STEP 4: Fold the sides toward the middle roof panel, then roll the cover from back to front.
  • STEP 5: Place the rolled cover on the front roof of your pop-up camper. Because pop-ups are low, this step is usually simple without a ladder.
  • STEP 6: Unroll the cover toward the back, letting the sides fall into place.
  • STEP 7: Adjust the cover so it’s even on all sides, then pull it down gently.
  • STEP 8: Secure the bottom corners first, then tighten the straps and buckles.
  • STEP 9: Fasten the rest of the straps. Use the toss bag to slide straps under the camper if needed.
  • STEP 10: When strapped down, the cover should fit snug and stay put, even in light wind.

Warnings

  • Do not stay inside your pop-up camper while the cover is installed.
  • Never tow or move the camper while covered.
  • Avoid installing or removing the cover in high winds.
  • Do not attempt installation on wet or slippery surfaces.

Because folding pop-up campers are lightweight and compact, installation can often be done solo. However, having two people will make the process quicker and more efficient, especially when securing the straps.

How to Remove Your Folding Pop-Up Camper Cover

Take off the cover by reversing the installation steps. Fold and roll it tightly before putting it back in the storage bag. This makes it easier to use next time.

Important: Do not store the cover while it’s wet. Moisture can cause mildew or damage the fabric.

How to Clean Your Folding Pop-Up Camper Cover

Clean your cover by hand only. Put it on the camper, rinse it with a hose, and gently wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse well and let it air dry completely before storing.

Cleaning Warnings

  • Do NOT use bleach, harsh detergents, or fabric softeners.
  • Do NOT machine wash or iron the cover.
  • Always ensure the cover is completely dry before storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure my Folding Pop-Up Camper?

Length: Measure from the front body panel of the camper to the very back, including bumpers or spare tires. Do not include the hitch or tongue.

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

Every pop-up camper cover has a white tag labeled “FRONT.” If missing, the tagged end still indicates the front.

Repair Patch Instructions

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

When to Use

  • Small pinholes or scuffs
  • Minor tears caused by sharp edges
  • Extra reinforcement in high-stress areas such as seams or gutters

How to Apply

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

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

Your Folding Pop-Up Camper Cover comes with one repair patch. Additional patches can be purchased here.

How do I install the rain gutter protectors?

If your folding pop-up camper has rain gutters, place each protector over the gutter and secure it with Velcro. Using all four helps stop sharp corners from rubbing or tearing the cover.

Extra gutter protectors are available here.

How do I use the weighted buckle bag?

Fill the toss bag with rocks or sand, clip it to a strap, and toss it beneath the camper. This makes guiding straps under your camper much easier.

Additional toss bags can be purchased here.
