Pre-Installation Requirements

● Clean the Trailer: Make sure your fifth wheel trailer is clean and free from dirt, debris, and moisture. This prevents damage to both the trailer and the cover while prolonging the cover's lifespan.

● Inspect for Sharp Edges: Identify sharp areas such as mirrors, gutters, or awnings that could damage the cover. Use the provided rain gutter protectors and ladder cap to protect these areas before installing the cover.

Installation Procedure

1. Prepare the Cover - Lay the cover on a clean, flat surface (e.g., driveway or lawn). Unfasten all buckles or straps.

2. Position the Cover - Place the cover flat with the roof section facing upwards. Locate the tag labeled "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 - Lift the rolled cover to the roof of your trailer, starting at the front. Assistance may be needed depending on the trailer's size.

5. Unroll and Drape - Unroll the cover towards the back of the trailer, allowing the sides to drape over the edges.

6. Secure the Ladder Cap - As you descend, install the ladder cap to prevent tearing. Pull the cover down over the sides of the trailer.

7. Adjust the Cover - Before securing the bottom straps, ensure the cover is centered on the trailer.

8. Fasten the Straps - Start by securing the bottom corner straps, then fasten the middle and bottom straps. Use the weighted buckle bag to toss the straps under the trailer for easy fastening.

9. Final Check - Verify that the cover is properly fitted, adjusted, and all straps are secured.

Warnings

● Do not occupy the trailer while the cover is on.

● Do not run the engine while the cover is installed.

● Avoid installing the cover in windy or slippery conditions.

● Always have two people assist with installation for safety.

1. Unfasten all straps.

Cleaning Guidelines

● Manual Cleaning Only: Install the cover on the trailer and use a hose to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn spots, use a cloth with a mild multi-purpose cleaner.

● Rinse and Dry: After cleaning, rinse thoroughly and allow the cover to air-dry or use a towel to speed up drying.

How do I use the weighted buckle bag?
