What Should You Look For In A Quality Camper Cover?

Your camper serves you well all summer, giving you a place to rest and sleep when you are away from home. So when it comes time to store your recreational sleeping space for a temporary time, it definitely deserves to be rightly protected. Investing in a camper cover is a smart move if you value your camper. These covers keep off the moisture, sunlight, and dirt that can cause so many issues on the camper's surface, but how do you know which one to pick among the many models available? Here is a look at some of the best features to look for in a top-quality camper cover.

Zippered Side Panels

After you get your camper completely covered, it is best if you still have access to it when you need it without having to pull off the entire cover just to do so. The best quality camper covers have zippered sections or sides that allow you to open them up and each the entry doors along the side of the camper, storage compartments of the camper, and other pertinent areas. This means when you need to get into the camper you won't be left having to pull off the cover and put it back on when you are done. 

Snug Fit Along the Base

The majority of campers, whether it is a small pull-behind or a larger RV style camper, have a slightly inwardly slanted base. If you get a cheap camper cover, a lot of them are not made to securely fit around this inwardly slanted base correctly, which means the bottom of the camper can be left open and vulnerable because the cover is loose. The best camper covers are cinched along the bottom by seams or elastic so they adhere to the base of the camper completely. When the cover is strapped in place, there will be no flappy sections along the bottom. 

Water-Resistant But Breathable Fabric

There are good reasons why you can't just pick up a heavy tarp or piece of plastic to aptly cover and protect your camper; these solutions are airtight but they can encourage the development of mold beneath them. Top-quality camper covers are fabricated from materials that are heavy enough to keep out moisture but are also breathable to encourage ai flow through the cover so mold and mildew don't develop on the underside of the tarp or on the surface of your camper.
