The Gold Shield 5L is CarCover's premium all-season storage cover engineered specifically for Class B motorhomes and camper vans in the 18-to-20-foot range. A heavy-duty 5-ply top panel and 3-ply side panels team up with a breathable micro-porous film to block rain, UV, snow, and debris -- without trapping the moisture that causes mildew and rot. Zippered access panels, elasticized hems, and adjustable buckles mean you get a secure fit without wrestling the cover off every time you need inside.
Class B vans and camper vans sit low and compact, but they still take a beating from UV exposure, acid rain, tree sap, bird droppings, and hail during long-term storage. The Gold Shield 5L wraps that investment in layered, engineered fabric -- not a single-ply tarp. The 5-ply top combines UV-resistant polypropylene outer layers with an inner micro-porous film that lets water vapor escape while refusing liquid water entry. The 3-ply sides carry the same breathable film construction for complete perimeter protection.
At 25 lbs and a cover footprint of approximately 20.5 ft long x 7.08 ft wide x 8.08 ft tall, the 5RV-CB-1820 is sized to fit snugly over Class B bodies without excess fabric flapping in the wind. Adjustable buckle straps cinch out the slack, and the elasticized front and rear hems lock the corners down -- even in gusty conditions.
UV-resistant polypropylene outer layers with a micro-porous inner film block sun, rain, snow, and hail while allowing interior moisture to escape.
Reinforced side construction resists crosswind debris, side rain exposure, and UV degradation across the full height of the rig.
Reach doors, storage compartments, and hookups without removing the entire cover -- a real time-saver during short storage breaks.
Adjustable buckle straps remove wind billow, elastic hems grip front and rear corners, and weighted buckles simplify solo installation.
A non-breathable cover traps condensation between the fabric and your RV's exterior, creating the wet-dark environment where mildew, oxidation, and paint lifting thrive. The Gold Shield 5L's micro-porous film layer is the critical difference: pores large enough for water vapor molecules to pass through, small enough to stop liquid water droplets. The result is a cover that dries from the inside out, keeping your gel coat, graphics, and seals in better condition season after season.
The dense multi-ply laminate filters out the fine particulate that scratches RV clearcoat during removal and re-application -- reducing how often you need to wash, polish, or wax the exterior during and after storage.
This cover is cut for the lower-profile, narrower body of a Class B van-based motorhome. It is NOT designed for the taller cab-over nose of a Class C or the wide body of a Class A. Verify your rig's length, width, and height against the cover dimensions before ordering.
The 5RV-CB-1820 ships with a drawstring storage bag that keeps the cover organized between uses, and a patch kit for field repairs if the fabric sustains minor damage. CarCover backs this cover with a lifetime manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
You can wash the cover by hand or in a washing machine. For hand washing, install the cover on your RV, rinse it with a hose, then use a cloth and multi-purpose cleaner to scrub. Rinse again and either towel dry or let it air dry.
For machine washing, use the largest machine available, set it to gentle mode, and wash with mild powder detergent in cold water—avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Rinse the cover twice to remove all detergent, and always air dry.
