The Gold Shield 5L is a premium all-weather cover engineered specifically for Class A motorhomes in the 28-to-30-foot range. With a five-layer top panel and a three-layer side panel construction built around a micro-porous breathable film, it blocks rain, snow, UV radiation, tree sap, bird droppings, and hail -- while still letting trapped moisture escape so your finish stays clean and mildew-free during long-term storage.
Class A motorhomes represent a significant investment, and leaving one uncovered -- even in a covered-storage lot -- exposes paint, seals, and roof materials to progressive UV degradation, water intrusion, and biological damage. The Gold Shield 5L was designed to address every one of those failure points in a single cover that two people can install without tools in under 30 minutes.
The cover dimensions are 30.5 ft long x 8.92 ft wide x 10.08 ft tall, giving it enough coverage to fully wrap most Class A coaches in the 28-30 ft range while the extended top panel drapes down the sides for added lateral protection.
Four polypropylene PLUS layers surround one micro-porous film layer for maximum weather resistance on the roof -- the surface that takes the most abuse from sun, snow, and debris.
Two polypropylene PLUS layers plus one micro-porous film layer on all sides. Lighter than the top but still fully waterproof and breathable -- keeps sidewalls and windows protected without trapping humidity.
Heavy-duty zippered panels let you enter the motorhome without removing the entire cover -- useful for seasonal check-ins, battery maintenance, or retrieving gear from storage bays.
Adjustable buckle system eliminates slack and resists wind lift. Elastic hems at front and rear corners conform to the coach body. Slip-seam design further reduces wind profile.
The Gold Shield 5L uses polypropylene PLUS as its structural layer -- a high-density non-woven fabric that resists tearing, puncture, and UV breakdown better than basic polypropylene. The micro-porous film interlayer is the key differentiator: it is hydrophobic on the outside (water beads and runs off) but microporous enough to allow water vapor to escape from the inside. This prevents the condensation and mildew growth that destroys paint and decals on covers that trap air.
Many budget RV covers are simply waterproof tarps. The micro-porous film in the Gold Shield 5L allows water vapor to pass outward while blocking liquid water from entering -- the same principle used in quality outdoor apparel. This is critical for long-term storage where interior humidity must be able to escape.
This cover is sized for Class A motorhomes from 28 feet to 30 feet in overall length. The cover body measures 30.5 ft long to account for front and rear overhang, 8.92 ft wide, and 10.08 ft tall. Most standard Class A coaches in this length range fall within these envelope dimensions, but always verify your rig's actual length, width, and roofline height before ordering.
Measure your Class A from the front cap to the rear cap bumper at its longest point. Also confirm your roofline height including any roof-mounted AC units, antennas, or solar panels. This cover's 10.08 ft height rating is the maximum supported without stressing the fabric over sharp protrusions.
When removing the cover, allow both the cover and the RV surface to dry before folding for storage. Store the cover in its included bag in a dry location away from direct sunlight. Inspect buckle straps and elastic hems each season and replace if elasticity is lost. A periodic rinse with fresh water (no harsh solvents) keeps the micro-porous film layer clear and functional.
CarCover backs the Gold Shield 5L with a Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The included patch kit lets you address minor field damage without voiding coverage.
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.
