Purpose-built for Class B motorhomes and camper vans in the 20-to-22-foot range, the Gold Shield 5L delivers heavy-duty all-season protection without trapping damaging moisture against your paint and sidewalls. A layered microporous construction breathes like fabric but blocks rain, snow, UV, and road grime -- making it equally at home in a storage lot, a campground, or your driveway all winter long.
Class B vans and camper vans have lower rooflines and tighter proportions than larger motorhomes, which means an ill-fitting cover billows, chafes, and eventually tears. CarCover engineered the Gold Shield 5L with a custom-fit pattern for the 20-22 ft Class B footprint -- elasticized front and rear hems lock the cover down at the corners, and adjustable buckle straps remove slack along the belly to stop wind from working the fabric loose overnight.
The five-layer top panel handles your harshest exposure: UV-resistant polypropylene outer face, a reinforcing scrim layer, a microporous breathable film core, and inner soft-touch layers that won't scratch gel coat or fiberglass. The three-layer side panels are lighter for easy handling but still rated for crosswind-driven rain and UV fade prevention. Reinforced double stitching runs every seam, and ladder caps plus gutter guards protect the points most likely to wear through first.
UV-resistant polypropylene outer shell with microporous breathable film core blocks rain and snow while allowing internal vapor to escape -- preventing mildew and rot.
Lighter-weight three-layer sides give full UV and rain protection on vertical surfaces while keeping total cover weight manageable at 25 lbs.
Multiple zippered panels let you open a door, grab gear, or connect shore power without removing the entire cover -- critical for long-term or live-aboard storage setups.
Adjustable weighted buckles cinch the belly tight and stay put in high winds. Elasticized corner hems lock the front and rear to prevent cover migration during storms.
The microporous film layer is the key difference between this cover and cheap tarp-style alternatives. It passes water vapor outward while blocking liquid water inward -- the same principle as technical outdoor apparel. Your RV's paint, seals, and interior stay dry without the condensation trap that solid plastic covers create.
The tightly woven outer face filters airborne particulates, tree pollen, road dust, and industrial fallout. Fewer wash cycles means less chance of swirl marks and less wasted time prepping the rig between trips.
Reflective strips on the cover improve visibility in low-light conditions -- useful when your rig is parked in an unlit storage lot, a dark campsite overflow area, or alongside a road. A small detail that matters when other vehicles are moving nearby.
Rear ladder rungs and roof gutters are the two most common points of cover failure on Class B vans. CarCover pre-reinforces these contact zones with extra material so the cover does not wear through at the edges during normal wind movement. Inspect these areas first during periodic checks.
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.
