UnitedCovers5-Ply Top ConstructionLifetime WarrantyUnitedCovers 5-Layer Class A RV Cover -- Fits 18 ft to 20 ft Motorhomes

Full-season, all-weather protection engineered specifically for Class A motorhomes in the 18-to-20-foot range. The UnitedCovers 5-Layer uses a five-layer top panel with a micro-porous breathable film to block rain, snow, UV, bird droppings, tree sap, and hail -- while still allowing trapped moisture to escape so you don't trade weather damage for mold damage.

Built for the Worst Weather Your RV Will Ever See

Most RV covers use simple woven polypropylene. The UnitedCovers 5-Layer goes further. The top panel stacks four layers of polypropylene PLUS fabric around a central micro-porous film -- five layers total. The side panels use two polypropylene PLUS layers flanking that same micro-porous film. The result is a cover that sheds water on the outside while vapor pressure from inside moves outward, eliminating the moisture trap that destroys paint, seals, and decals over a storage season.

At 25 lbs and measuring 20.5 ft long x 8.92 ft wide x 10.08 ft tall, this cover is sized with deliberate overhang so the heavier top panel wraps down over the sides, giving the upper edges and roof-to-wall transitions extra protection -- a spot where cheaper covers consistently fail first.

5-Ply Top Panel

Four polypropylene PLUS layers plus one micro-porous film layer. Blocks over 98% of dirt and dust. Reflects sunlight to keep interior temps down during storage.

3-Ply Side Panels

Two polypropylene PLUS layers sandwiching a micro-porous film. Prevents rot and mildew while maintaining breathability on all four walls.

Secure Fit System

Adjustable buckle system with weighted buckles eliminates slack and stops billowing in wind. Elastic hems at front and rear corners lock the cover in place.

Easy Access and Safety

Heavy-duty zippered entry panels let you get into your coach without removing the cover. Reflective panels increase nighttime visibility around the parked rig.

What the 5L Construction Actually Does

The term "5L" refers to the five-layer laminate on the top section -- four polypropylene PLUS sheets bonded around a micro-porous film core. This film is the key: it has pores large enough to pass water vapor outward but small enough to block liquid water droplets from penetrating inward. That one-way moisture management is what separates a storage cover from a moisture trap.

Side panels use a 3-layer version of the same technology. They don't need the same thickness as the top because they shed water by gravity rather than holding it, but the micro-porous film is still present to manage condensation from within.

UV and Heat Reflection -- The gray exterior surface reflects solar radiation instead of absorbing it. During warm-weather storage, this meaningfully reduces the heat load on dashboard plastics, window seals, and roof membrane -- all of which degrade faster when subjected to repeated thermal cycling.

Fit, Access, and Installation

The slip-seam design contours to the squared-off profile of a Class A motorhome, reducing the sail area the wind can grab. The adjustable buckle system lets you cinch the cover tight along the lower edges without tools. Installation is a two-person job on a coach this size but does not require any special equipment.

  • Elastic hems at front and rear conform to bumper and cap corners.
  • Weighted buckles drop down and self-tension -- no threading straps under a 20-foot coach.
  • Ladder cap included to protect the cover fabric where it contacts the rear ladder rungs.
  • Gutter guards protect the material from sharp rain gutter edges along the roofline.
  • Zippered access panels on the sides allow entry to the coach door and storage bays without removing the cover.
  • Built-in roof vents allow passive airflow even when the cover is fully secured.
AC Unit Clearance -- This cover is designed to accommodate up to three rooftop air conditioning units within its 20.5 ft x 8.92 ft x 10.08 ft profile. Verify your specific AC shroud heights fall within the 10.08 ft overall height before ordering if your units have extended or aftermarket shrouds.

Repair and Storage

A patch kit is included for field repairs. Small tears from branch contact or road debris during repositioning can be sealed quickly without needing a replacement cover. A dedicated storage bag is included for off-season storage of the cover itself -- keeping it clean and compact when your rig is back in service.

Storage Tips
  • Clean the cover surface before folding for storage -- dirt and grit left in the folds will abrade the fabric over time.
  • Make sure the cover and your RV roof are both dry before long-term storage to prevent mildew inside the storage bag.
  • Inspect buckle straps and elastic hems at the start of each storage season and replace if cracked or brittle.
  • Apply the included patch kit to any pinhole tears promptly -- small punctures spread when the cover is under wind tension.
Pre-Installation Check -- Measure your Class A from the front cap to the rear bumper. This cover fits coaches with an overall length of 18 ft to 20 ft. Ordering a cover that is too long causes pooling and wind-catch; too short leaves the ends unprotected and can stress the elastic hems.

Important Information
  • This cover is sized for Class A motorhomes with an overall length of 18 ft to 20 ft. Measure bumper-to-bumper before ordering -- do not rely on the manufacturer's advertised floor-plan length.
  • Maximum accommodated height is 10.08 ft. Aftermarket or extended AC shrouds that push your coach above this height will stress the cover fabric and void the fit guarantee.
  • This is a storage cover for stationary use. Do not drive with this cover installed -- wind load at road speed will damage both the cover and the RV.
  • Install only on a clean, dry RV surface. Trapping dirt or moisture under the cover accelerates the paint and seal damage you are trying to prevent.
  • Two people are strongly recommended for installation on a coach in the 18-to-20-ft range. Working alone on a ladder with a 25 lb cover creates a fall hazard.
  • Patch kit and storage bag are included. Replacement parts are not covered under warranty if the cover is used in a non-storage application.
Protecting your RV with a quality cover is essential for maintaining its value and longevity. RVs are significant investments that are often exposed to harsh weather conditions, making them susceptible to damage from corrosion, mold, and UV rays. Unlike standard vehicles, RVs serve as mobile homes for many, and a cover can provide added insulation and privacy, enhancing your comfort while protecting against the elements. By investing in an RV cover, you reduce wear and tear, ensuring that your RV remains in excellent condition for years to come.

How To Measure Your RV:

Length: Measure the longest distance from the front to the rear of the RV, including bumpers, spare tires, and ladders. Measure to the front of the bumper or the bunk area, whichever is farther.

Height: Measure the highest point of the RV's sidewalls from the top of the roof to the outside frame, excluding ground clearance and roof-mounted accessories.


How to Install Your RV Cover:

1. Identify the front of the cover by locating the "Front" tag on the interior.
2.
Lay the cover lengthwise on the ground, inside out, with the exterior facing up.
3.
Fold the sides toward the center and roll the cover from the rear, leaving the front end loose.
4.
Position the rolled cover at the rear of the RV near the ladder.
5.
Loosen the roll slightly, then climb the ladder while holding the front end.
6.
Pull the cover onto the roof gradually until you have a strip covering the entire roof.
7.
Starting at the front, unfold the cover side to side, letting it drape down the sides as you move to the rear.
8.
Ensure the corner opposite the ladder is positioned under the cover’s corner.
9.
Climb down while bringing the cover down with you, then adjust the cover as needed.

Removal:

1. Undo all straps and zippers on the cover.
2.
Lift the front of the cover to the top of the RV.
3.
Pull the cover down from the rear.

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.
