Purpose-built for long-term outdoor storage, the Gold Shield 5L wraps your 16 to 18 foot travel trailer in a heavy-duty five-layer top and three-layer sides. The breathable microporous film lets trapped vapor escape while blocking rain, snow, UV rays, tree sap, and bird droppings -- so you open your season to a clean, protected rig instead of a mildewed one.
Most RV covers cut corners by using a single-ply or dual-ply material across the entire cover. The Gold Shield 5L uses a five-layer laminate across the top where rain, hail, and UV exposure hit hardest, and a three-layer laminate on the sides to handle crosswinds, blowing debris, and sun exposure. The result is a cover that holds up through multiple storage seasons without cracking, delaminating, or turning brittle.
The integrated microporous film is the key to mold and mildew prevention. It creates a vapor-permeable barrier -- moisture vapor generated by temperature swings inside the trailer passes outward, but liquid water cannot pass inward. This is especially important for trailers stored in humid climates or under trees.
UV-resistant polypropylene layers with microporous film core protect the roof, rooftop AC units, and vents from sun, rain, hail, and snow load.
Reinforced side fabric handles crosswind stress, road debris exposure, and prolonged sun contact without cracking or tearing over time.
Allows water vapor to escape while blocking liquid water entry -- prevents mildew, rot, and trapped condensation damage to walls and flooring.
Access entry doors and exterior compartments without removing the entire cover -- essential for checking batteries or grabbing gear during storage.
The cover is cut to fit travel trailers measuring up to 18.5 feet long, 8.75 feet wide, and 9.17 feet tall. Elasticized hems at the front and rear corners pull the cover snug against the trailer nose and tail, eliminating the loose flapping that causes abrasion damage to decals and painted surfaces.
Adjustable buckle straps cinch down the sides to remove slack and prevent wind billowing -- a common failure point on cheaper covers that allows the fabric to beat against the trailer surface in storms. The weighted buckle design speeds up installation without needing to thread straps under the trailer frame.
The cover height -- 9.17 feet -- accommodates rooftop air conditioner domes on trailers that run up to approximately 9 feet at the tallest point. The design allows for up to three rooftop AC units without creating pressure points that could crack AC covers or dome seals over a long storage period. If your trailer has tall antennas or satellite mounts, lower or remove them before fitting the cover to avoid stress points in the fabric.
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.
