Pre-Installation Requirements
● Clean the RV: Ensure the RV is free of dirt, debris, and moisture. A clean surface prevents damage to both the RV and the cover.
● Inspect for Sharp Edges: Identify any sharp or protruding areas like mirrors, gutters, or awnings that could damage the cover. Use the provided rain gutter protectors and ladder cap to pad these areas before installing the cover.
Installation Procedure
1. Prepare the Cover - Unpack the RV cover on a clean, flat surface, such as a driveway or lawn. Unfasten any buckles or straps.
2. Position the Cover - Lay the cover flat with the roof section facing upwards. Locate the tag marked "FRONT" to identify the front of the cover.
3. Fold and Roll - Fold the sides of the cover toward the center of the roof section and roll it from the back to the front.
4. Move the Cover to the Roof - Place the rolled-up cover on the roof of your RV at the front. Depending on the size of your RV, you may require assistance for this step.
5. Unroll and Drape - Unroll the cover from the front to the back. Unfold the sides so that they drape down over the RV.
6. Adjust the Cover - Begin descending the ladder, securing the ladder cap as you go. Pull the cover down over the RV, ensuring it is centered and properly aligned.
7. Secure the Corners - Once the cover is properly positioned, secure the bottom corner straps. Adjust the straps at both ends of the RV to ensure a snug fit.
8. Fasten the Straps - Secure the remaining bottom and middle straps. Use the weighted buckle bag to easily pass the straps beneath the RV and fasten them securely.
9. Final Check - Verify that the cover is properly fitted, adjusted, and all straps are secured. Warnings

How do I measure my Class B RV?
