Trailersphere RVSHDY09 RV Shady -- Custom-Fit Exterior Window Cover for Lance 2022+ Acrylic Raised Front Cap Window
Precision-cut to match the vertical acrylic raised front cap window found on Lance travel trailers built in 2022 and later. Three-layer construction uses marine-grade vinyl and 3/8" neoprene foam to absorb road impact and block UV before either reaches your glass.
The front cap window on a Lance travel trailer is one of the most exposed pieces of glass on the rig. On the highway, it faces direct stone strikes, bug spray, grit, and UV radiation that can cloud acrylic over time or, in a worst case, crack the pane mid-trip. The Trailersphere RVSHDY09 is cut specifically for the vertical acrylic raised front cap window introduced on Lance travel trailers in the 2022 model year -- not a generic rectangle, not an approximate fit.
Installation is fast enough to become part of every departure routine. The cover goes on before you roll and comes off when you park. No tools, no hardware, no modifications to the trailer.
Shaped to match the exact outline of the 2022+ Lance acrylic raised front cap window -- not a universal approximation.
Marine-grade vinyl outer shell, 3/8" neoprene foam core, and a soft inner liner work together to absorb impact and cushion the acrylic surface.
Blocks stone chips, gravel, and highway grit that can crack or pit the front cap glass during transit.
Opaque vinyl exterior blocks sunlight to slow UV yellowing and clouding of the acrylic panel when the trailer is parked or stored.
The outer shell is marine-grade vinyl -- the same category of material used in boat upholstery and outdoor covers because it resists moisture, mildew, and UV degradation. Beneath that shell sits a 3/8" closed-cell neoprene foam core that provides both cushioning against impact and a thermal break. The inner facing that contacts the window surface is soft to prevent scratching the acrylic.
Neoprene foam at 3/8" thickness is thick enough to absorb the energy of a stone strike or a trailer-to-trailer contact bump without transmitting the full force to the glass. It also compresses and recovers without leaving permanent set, so the cover performs the same on trip 100 as it did on trip 1.
The RVSHDY09 is a tow cover -- it is designed to be attached before you pull out of the campsite or driveway and removed when you arrive. Specific attachment method (straps, suction, hook-and-loop) follows the standard Trailersphere RV Shady system. Confirm the attachment hardware included in the box against the product listing before ordering if your installation location is unusual.
This cover -- part number RVSHDY09 -- is designed exclusively for Lance travel trailers produced in the 2022 model year and later that feature the vertical acrylic raised front cap window. Lance introduced a redesigned front cap window profile for 2022. If your Lance was built before 2022, or if your trailer has a flat laminated front cap window rather than the raised acrylic style, this is not the correct cover. Check your trailer's build date plate and front cap window profile before ordering.
Beyond towing protection, the RVSHDY09 works as a UV shield during extended storage. Acrylic windows can yellow or haze over a season left uncovered in direct sun. The opaque vinyl blocks the UV load and can significantly extend the life and clarity of the front cap panel. For storage use, the cover can be left in place for weeks or months -- the marine-grade vinyl and neoprene resist moisture and are not harmed by rain, condensation, or temperature cycling.
