Fifth Wheel Trailer Covers

Select your Fifth Wheel Trailer Length

Fifth wheel trailers are designed for long stays, extended travel, and residential-style comfort. Because of their size, height, and exterior surface area, fifth wheel trailers are especially exposed to sun, rain, snow, wind, and debris when stored outdoors. Using a properly fitted fifth wheel trailer cover is one of the most effective ways to protect your trailer and preserve its condition during storage.

At CarCover.com, our fifth wheel trailer covers are built specifically for outdoor storage and engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions while remaining 100% breathable. Breathability is essential for trailer storage, as it allows moisture to escape and helps reduce condensation caused by temperature changes.

Why Fifth Wheel Trailers Require Specialized Covers

Fifth wheel trailers have a distinctive design that requires a cover made specifically for this type of trailer. Unlike travel trailers, fifth wheels feature a raised front cap that extends over the truck bed, along with taller rooflines, wider sidewalls, and increased overall height. These structural characteristics create additional exposure points that standard or universal covers are not designed to protect properly.

A fifth wheel trailer cover is engineered to follow the unique shape of the front cap and roof while providing full coverage down to the lower side panels. This design helps protect high-exposure areas such as the roof membrane, front cap, slide-out seals, ladder areas, and exterior seams. A proper fifth wheel–specific fit also reduces excess movement in windy conditions, helping the cover perform effectively and last longer during outdoor storage.

Who Should Use a Fifth Wheel Trailer Cover?

Fifth wheel trailer covers are ideal for owners who tow and store their trailers outdoors and want reliable protection between trips. They are especially beneficial for long-term parking, seasonal or winter storage, and extended periods of non-use. A properly fitted fifth wheel trailer cover helps protect high-exposure areas such as the roof membrane, front cap, sidewalls, slide-outs, seams, and rear panels from sun exposure, moisture, dirt, and debris, helping preserve the trailer’s condition and reduce long-term wear.

Outdoor Storage Protection for Fifth Wheel Trailers

Fifth wheel trailer covers are primarily designed for outdoor use, as most trailers are stored outside between trips or during the off-season. Outdoor storage exposes trailers to prolonged UV exposure, rain, snow accumulation, dirt, tree sap, and wind-driven debris, all of which can accelerate exterior wear if left unprotected.

Our fifth wheel trailer covers are constructed with weather-resistant materials while remaining fully breathable. This balance is important because a trailer cover must block the elements while allowing trapped moisture to escape. Breathability helps reduce condensation buildup during seasonal storage, winter storage, and humid conditions.

Because they are fully breathable, outdoor fifth wheel covers can also be used safely for indoor storage, providing protection from dust, accidental contact, and light moisture while keeping the trailer clean between trips.

Climate Considerations for Fifth Wheel Storage

Climate plays a major role in long-term trailer storage. In sunny regions, UV exposure can fade exterior finishes, decals, and graphics, while drying out seals and caulking. In colder climates, snow accumulation and freeze-thaw cycles can place stress on roof seams and exterior joints.

A quality fifth wheel trailer cover helps shield the trailer from these elements while allowing airflow to minimize moisture-related issues. In windy or coastal environments, proper sizing and secure fastening are especially important to prevent cover movement and protect against salt air and debris.

Materials & Construction Designed for Trailers

Fifth wheel trailer covers are built with multi-layer fabrics that balance durability and breathability. These materials are designed to resist weather exposure while protecting painted surfaces, fiberglass, and graphics from abrasion during storage.

Reinforced stress points, strong seams, elastic hems, and adjustable straps help ensure a secure fit and improve longevity. These features are particularly important for larger trailers with tall sidewalls and extended rooflines.

How to Measure Your Fifth Wheel Trailer for a Cover

Proper sizing is essential when selecting a fifth wheel trailer cover. A cover that is too large may shift or flap in windy conditions, while a cover that is too small may be difficult to install and may not provide full protection. If your measurement falls between sizes, it is generally better to choose the next size up and secure the cover using the adjustable straps.

When measuring a fifth wheel trailer, measure the body only. Take the measurement from the front of the trailer body (front cap) to the rear bumper. Do not include the kingpin, pin box, hitch, tongue, or towing equipment that extends beyond the trailer’s body unless you plan to keep it covered.

Measurements should be taken along the longest points of the trailer’s body. Do not include rear-mounted bike racks, spare tire carriers, cargo trays, or other accessories when determining your cover size. The primary purpose of the cover is to protect the trailer body itself.

Protecting High-Exposure Trailer Areas

Fifth wheel trailers have several areas that are especially vulnerable during storage. The roof and roof edges are constantly exposed to sun and precipitation, while the front cap often receives the most direct weather exposure. Slide-out seals and roof seams also require protection to reduce long-term wear.

A properly fitted fifth wheel trailer cover helps shield these high-exposure areas, reducing stress on seals and seams and helping preserve the trailer’s exterior condition over time.

Installation & Care Guidelines for Fifth Wheel Trailer Covers

Proper installation is essential for a fifth wheel trailer cover to perform as intended. Before installing the cover, make sure the trailer exterior is completely clean and dry to prevent trapping dirt or moisture. When positioning the cover, ensure it is centered over the roof and front cap, then secure all straps evenly along the sides and rear to maintain a stable fit and reduce movement in windy conditions.

During long-term outdoor storage, it’s recommended to periodically remove the cover to inspect high-exposure areas such as the roof membrane, front cap, slide-out seals, and exterior seams. Removing the cover occasionally also allows airflow around the trailer, helping maintain both the trailer and the cover over time.

Common Mistakes to Avoid with Fifth Wheel Trailer Covers

• Using a universal or travel-trailer cover instead of a fifth wheel–specific design
• Installing the cover while the trailer is dirty, wet, or damp
• Choosing non-breathable materials that can trap moisture during outdoor storage
• Selecting an incorrect size that does not properly account for the trailer’s height and front cap
• Failing to properly secure straps and tension points, leading to excess movement in wind
