Keep your travel trailer protected year-round with the CarCover Gold Shield 5L. Engineered with a five-layer top panel and three-layer sides, this cover delivers all-season defense against UV, rain, snow, hail, tree sap, and road dust -- without trapping the moisture that leads to mold, rot, and finish damage. Zippered entry panels mean you never have to strip the whole cover just to grab gear or check the interior.
The Gold Shield 5L is designed for travel trailer owners who store their rig outside for weeks or months at a time. The cover's micro-porous breathable film is the key differentiator: it lets water vapor escape from inside the cover while blocking liquid water from entering. That vapor-permeable barrier is what separates a quality cover from a tarp -- tarps trap humidity and create the exact conditions that breed mildew and corrode seals.
The five-layer top handles the heaviest exposure: direct sun, pooling rain, snow loads, and hail. Three-layer sides address crosswind-driven rain and debris. Together, the layered construction adds up to noticeably heavier, more durable material than single- or dual-layer budget covers.
UV-resistant polypropylene outer layers sandwich a micro-porous film core. Blocks 98-plus percent of dirt and dust while shedding rain and snow.
Allows trapped vapor to escape, preventing mildew, rot, and moisture buildup under the cover during long-term outdoor storage.
Reach entry doors and exterior storage compartments without removing the cover. A practical feature for trailers left in storage for extended periods.
Adjustable buckles remove slack and stop wind billowing. Elasticized front and rear hems hold corners in place and reduce cover migration.
This cover is sized for travel trailers with an overall length between 30 and 33 feet. The cover's stated dimensions are 33.5 feet long x 8.75 feet wide x 9.17 feet tall. Measure your trailer from the front cap to the rear bumper -- not just the box -- to confirm fit before ordering. The extended top layer drapes down the sides to add extra coverage at the roof-to-sidewall transition.
The Gold Shield 5L is designed to accommodate up to three rooftop air conditioning units. Cutouts or raised panels in the top layer allow the cover to sit over standard RV AC shrouds without creating pressure points that could crack or distort the shroud. This is especially relevant for longer trailers that may run dual or triple AC configurations.
No tools required for installation. The weighted buckles and adjustable straps let one or two people fit the cover without a ladder in most cases. When not in use, the cover folds down into the included storage bag. A patch kit is also included for field repairs if the fabric is punctured or torn.
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.
