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.
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.
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.
Two polypropylene PLUS layers and one micro-porous film layer protect the vertical sides from dirt, dust, and weather while maintaining breathability.
Adjustable weighted buckles eliminate slack and prevent wind billowing. Elastic hems at the front and rear corners lock the cover against the camper frame.
A patch kit handles minor field repairs. A dedicated storage bag makes off-season stowing and transport clean and compact.
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.
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.
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.
