CarCoverGold Shield 5LLifetime WarrantyGold Shield 5L Folding Pop-Up Camper Cover -- Fits 16 to 18 Feet (5FC-1618)

Keep your folding pop-up camper protected year-round with the CarCover Gold Shield 5L. Built with a 5-layer top panel and a 3-layer side panel construction, this cover handles everything from summer UV exposure and tree sap to winter ice, snow, and road grime -- all without trapping moisture against your camper's finish.

All-Season Pop-Up Camper Protection Without the Moisture Problem

Most budget covers either block water effectively or breathe well -- rarely both. The Gold Shield 5L uses a micro-porous film layer in both the top and side panels that repels liquid water while allowing water vapor to pass through. That means rain, snow melt, and condensation stay out, but any moisture trapped between the cover and your camper can escape instead of promoting mildew, rot, or paint damage over a long storage season.

The cover is sized specifically for folding pop-up campers measuring 16 to 18 feet in length. The cover itself measures 18.5 ft long x 7.17 ft wide x 3.75 ft tall -- those dimensions account for the collapsed pop-up profile and give you coverage on all sides without excess fabric that catches wind.

5-Ply Top Panel

Four polypropylene PLUS layers plus one micro-porous film layer deliver heavy-duty resistance to UV rays, hail, bird droppings, and water on the most exposed surface.

3-Ply Side Panels

Two polypropylene PLUS layers and one micro-porous film layer protect the vertical sides from dirt, dust, and weather while maintaining breathability.

Secure Fit System

Adjustable weighted buckles eliminate slack and prevent wind billowing. Elastic hems at the front and rear corners lock the cover against the camper frame.

Includes Patch Kit and Bag

A patch kit handles minor field repairs. A dedicated storage bag makes off-season stowing and transport clean and compact.

Construction and Design Details

The top layer extends downward along the sides for a wrap-around overlap that blocks wind-driven rain from entering at the seam. A slip-seam design means the cover conforms to the camper's contours rather than holding a rigid shape -- reducing the surface area that catches wind during gusty conditions.

All major panel junctions use double-line stitching for reinforced seam strength. The gray exterior finish reflects sunlight, reducing interior heat buildup during warm-weather storage and slowing UV degradation of the cover material itself.

Breathable AND Water-Resistant: The micro-porous film layer blocks over 98% of dirt and dust and repels liquid water, while still allowing moisture vapor to escape -- protecting your pop-up's canvas, paint, and hardware from trapped condensation.

Installation

No tools required. Unfold the cover, position it over the collapsed pop-up, and work the elastic hems around the front and rear corners. Cinch the adjustable buckle straps until the cover is snug with no billowing sections. Two people make the job faster, but one person can manage it on most standard pop-ups in this size range.

Tip for Windy Climates: Run the cinch straps under the frame tongue or hitch coupler for additional anchoring if you store in an exposed location with frequent high winds.

Long-Term Storage Tips

  • Wash and dry your camper before covering to prevent trapping contaminants against the finish.
  • Check the cover periodically during extended storage -- reposition if wind has shifted it.
  • Use the included patch kit immediately if you notice a small tear; a small hole can grow with wind stress.
  • Store the cover in its bag off-season to protect the fabric from UV degradation when not in use.
Maintenance Note: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild soap. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Air dry only -- heat can compromise the micro-porous film layer.
Fitment Note: This cover is sized for pop-up campers 16 to 18 feet in length in the collapsed/folded position. Measure your camper's overall length before ordering. It is NOT designed for hard-sided travel trailers or conventional RVs.

Important Information
  • Sized for folding pop-up campers only -- measure your camper in the collapsed position before ordering. Fits 16 to 18 ft overall length.
  • Cover dimensions: 18.5 ft long x 7.17 ft wide x 3.75 ft tall. Do not attempt to use on a camper outside this size range.
  • Not intended for hard-sided travel trailers, fifth wheels, or motorhomes.
  • Do not apply over a wet or dirty camper -- wash and dry the surface first to avoid trapping abrasive debris under the cover.
  • Do not use bleach, strong detergents, or machine drying -- these will damage the micro-porous film layer and void performance claims.
  • Inspect the cover and straps periodically during storage, especially after high-wind events, and readjust if shifted.
  • Patch kit repairs should be made promptly -- unrepaired tears will expand under wind stress and reduce overall protection.
How To Measure Your Folding Popup Camper:

Length: Measure the longest distance from the front to the rear of the camper, ensuring to include the spare tire and ladder. Be sure to exclude the hitch and tongue from your measurements!

Height: Measure the sidewalls of the camper from the highest point of the roofline down to the outer frame. Remember to exclude ground clearance, roof-mounted accessories, vents, and air conditioning units. If your trailer is equipped with an air conditioner and the height measurement (excluding the A/C unit) is within 4 inches of the maximum limit for the cover you're considering, we recommend opting for the next larger size to accommodate the air conditioner.



How to Install Your Pop-up Camper Cover:

1. Identify the Front: Most folding pop-up camper covers feature a "Front" tag on the interior, either sewn or stamped. Use this tag to clearly determine the front and rear of your cover.
2. Check Tag Placement: Ensure that all tags are located on the inside of the cover. Installing the cover upside down may lead to damage to your vehicle's paint.
3. Prepare the Cover: Fold the sides of the cover toward the center for easier handling.
4. Roll the Cover: Starting from the rear, roll the cover toward the front, leaving the loose end at the front.
5. Position the Rolled Cover: Place the rolled cover at the rear of the folding pop-up camper.
6. Unfold the Cover: Begin at the front of the camper and unfold the cover from side to side, allowing it to drape down over the sides as you move toward the rear.
7. Adjust as Needed: Walk around the camper and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the cover fits snugly from side to side.

Removal:

1. Release All Fastenings: Carefully undo all straps and zippers securing the folding pop-up camper cover.
2. Lift the Front: Raise the front of the cover to the top of the folding pop-up camper.
3. Lower from the Rear: From the rear of the camper, gently pull the cover down to remove it completely.

For Cleaning:

Proper care of your RV cover is essential for maintaining its performance and water resistance. Contaminants like dirt and grease can damage the cover, so regular washing is recommended for long-lasting protection.

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.
