Full-season protection for Class C motorhomes in the 18-to-20-foot length range. The Gold Shield 5L uses a five-layer top panel and three-layer sides with a micro-porous film core to block rain, snow, UV rays, and road grime while still letting trapped moisture escape -- so your paint, seals, and finish stay clean and dry whether you store for a weekend or an entire winter.
Most entry-level RV covers are either waterproof-but-suffocating or breathable-but-leaky. The Gold Shield 5L addresses both failure modes with a laminated micro-porous film sandwiched inside the polypropylene PLUS plies. Water droplets cannot penetrate inward, but water vapor generated inside the cover can escape outward -- the same principle used in quality outdoor gear. That means no condensation pooling on roof seams, no mildew growing under slide toppers, and no musty smell when you open the door in spring.
The cover is purpose-shaped for Class C body profiles. The top panel extends downward over all four sides to protect the transition zone where roof meets sidewall -- the area most vulnerable to wind-driven rain. Elastic hems lock the front and rear corners into place, and an adjustable buckle system cinches the mid-body tight so the cover does not balloon and flap in wind. Double-line stitching at all panel junctions keeps seams from separating under long-term UV exposure.
Four polypropylene PLUS plies plus one micro-porous film layer block over 98% of UV rays and all rain and snow. The top layer is the heaviest, most reinforced panel on the cover.
Two polypropylene PLUS plies and one micro-porous film layer protect sidewalls while saving weight. Sides remain flexible in cold temperatures so installation is not a struggle.
The film layer blocks liquid water while passing water vapor. This prevents rot, mildew, and moisture buildup underneath the cover -- critical for long-term storage in humid or rainy climates.
Slip-seam body shaping, elastic front and rear hems, and an adjustable buckle system combine to keep the cover snug against the RV in wind without pressure points that abrade the finish.
You should not have to remove the entire cover every time you need to access the door, service bay, or shore-power connection. The Gold Shield 5L includes heavy-duty zippered panels sized for motorhome entry doors. Built-in air vents positioned in the lower sections of the cover promote passive airflow from ground level upward, further reducing interior humidity during storage.
The tightly woven polypropylene PLUS plies prevent airborne particulates from reaching the RV surface. Useful in desert storage yards, agricultural areas, or any site with consistent dust exposure. Less washing means less chance of swirl marks on painted surfaces.
No tools are required. The cover ships folded into a storage bag sized to fit in a basement compartment. Installation is a two-person job for most Class C owners -- one person feeds the cover over the roof from a ladder while the other guides it along the sides. Weighted buckle straps hang down and can be caught and secured from ground level without climbing. The elastic hems self-locate at the front cap and rear corners once the cover is positioned correctly.
This cover (5RV-CC-1820) is sized for Class C motorhomes with an overall length of 18 to 20 feet. The cover's own dimensions are 20.5 ft long x 8.83 ft wide x 9.08 ft tall -- the overage provides the material needed to wrap down all four sides. Measure your RV's total length including any rear ladder, bike rack, or cargo carrier before ordering.
The Gold Shield 5L top panel is designed to accommodate up to three rooftop air conditioning units without creating pressure points that could crack AC shrouds or stress the cover seams. If your Class C has an unusually tall or wide aftermarket AC unit, confirm the cover height spec (9.08 ft) clears your specific installation.
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.
