Last strap hooked, and the roof is done before the snow. Here's how that goes, one step at a time.
If you've already decided the roof needs covering this winter, the question left is usually whether you can do it on your own. You can. One person puts this cover on. Below is the whole job in the order it happens, what each part does up on the roof, and straight answers to what owners ask before they buy.

Summary: The roof is the one spot on your RV you never actually look at, and it's where rain sits all winter, right on top of the seams and around every vent and the A/C. The cover takes that standing water off them. It goes on in one go: unfold it on the roof, hook the woven webbing straps under the body edge on all four sides, and pull the two reinforced straps across the top, tight.
The cover itself: black or white 210D Oxford fabric, waterproof and sun-resistant, nine lengths from 18 to 44 ft, all 10 ft wide, from $199. It fits over rooftop A/C units, roof vents and skylights, the edge hangs 12 to 16 inches down the sides, shipping to the US is free and takes 5 to 10 business days, and you get 90 days to send it back or get a refund.
1. Why the roof, and why before winter.
You won't check it up there, but winter will. Rain doesn't run off a roof the way it runs off the walls. It lies still on top of the seams at the front and back, along the joint where the roof meets the wall, and around every vent, the antenna and the A/C. Those places stay tight only as long as the sealant around them does, and every month of standing water works on it. That's why the cover is worth putting on before the first storms, not after you find a stain on the ceiling.
2. Pick the length from the flat part of your roof.
The cover comes in nine lengths, from 18 to 44 ft, and every one of them is 10 ft wide. Measure the main flat part of the roof and pick your length from that. Lots of gear up there, or a very tall A/C unit? Go one size up. The table further down shows the price for each length.
3. Unfold it on the roof, from the middle out.
The bundle goes up on the roof first. Pull it out from the middle toward both ends, so it lies over the whole roof. It fits over rooftop A/C units, roof vents and skylights, so nothing has to come off. The edge then hangs 12 to 16 inches down the sides, which keeps the joint between the roof and the wall under fabric too.
4. Hook the straps under the body edge, then pull the two across the top.
Walk around the rig and hook the woven webbing straps under the edge of the body, on all four sides, one by one. There's nothing to tie. Then pull the two reinforced straps across the top. Pull every strap tight: a cover that's strapped tight on every side gives the wind nothing to get under, and that's what keeps it from rubbing. The straps are soft woven webbing, gentle on the paint, as long as you pull the straps tight.
5. Last strap hooked. Now leave it until spring.
That's the job. Nothing hangs lower than the edge, so the door opens with the cover on, the windows and the hatches stay clear, and you can go in and check on things whenever you like. Over the winter, rain runs off the waterproof fabric instead of standing at the seams. If heavy wet snow builds up, you shovel it off, just like you would without a cover. In the spring it folds down to an armful.
Your length, your price, before you click anything
Every size is 10 ft (3 m) wide, so the only thing to measure is the length: the body, hitch not included, rounded up to the next size when you land between two. One cover costs what its row says. On the product page the bundle box opens on a 2-pack, so with one RV, switch it to 1 pack and you pay the row.
Nothing here is shorter than 18 ft or wider than 10 ft. A smaller rig, or a wider one, needs a different cover, and we'd rather lose the sale than your trust.
What owners ask before they do it themselves
Can I really do it alone?
Yes, one person puts it on. The bundle goes up on the roof, you pull it out from the middle toward both ends, and then you walk around the rig and hook the straps one by one. Doing the whole job from a ladder, without stepping onto the roof, is the one thing we can't promise.
Will it fit over my A/C?
Yes. It fits over rooftop A/C units, roof vents and skylights. With a lot of gear up there, or a very tall A/C unit, go one size up.
Won't it trap moisture and grow mold under there?
It can if it goes on wet, so don't put it on wet. The fabric is waterproof, which means little air moves under it. Wait for a dry day, and lay something under it that keeps a gap; a pair of pool noodles down the center line does it.
Won't it rub the roof and the paint when the wind blows?
A loose cover rubs because it moves. This one covers the roof and only the top 12 to 16 inches of the walls, and it's strapped on all four sides with two more straps across the top, so the wind can't get under it. Pull the straps tight. The straps are woven webbing, not elastic, so they don't stretch out.
Does it cover my slide-outs?
No. It's 10 ft wide and covers the roof only, not the slide-outs.
Can I still get into the rig?
Yes. The door opens with the cover on. The cover stops 12 to 16 inches below the edge of the roof, so the windows and the hatches stay clear all winter too.
Will it carry snow?
It's made to stay on from fall to spring, and if heavy wet snow builds up, you shovel it off, just like you would without a cover. A number for how much snow the fabric holds doesn't exist on our side, so you won't find one here.
What if it doesn't hold up?
We can't tell you how many winters it lasts, because we haven't measured that, and a number nobody measured is worse than no number. What we can give you is time to find out: 90 days to put it on, leave it through the first storms, and send it back or get your money back if it isn't holding up.
What about solar panels?
The cover goes over them, so they're covered while it's on. If your batteries depend on the panels through the winter, this cover works against you, and we'd rather say so.
Will it get here before winter?
Shipping to the US is free and takes 5 to 10 business days to your door.
So what do the people who do cover the roof do differently?
They stop waiting for the perfect cover and buy the one they'll actually put on. Length off the table, bundle box set to 1 pack, and the 90 days treated as a test drive rather than a warranty: on goes the cover before the first real rain, and the day it turns out the A/C or the straps make it wrong for their rig, back it goes.
The box holds one cover in the length you picked: black 210D Oxford that sheds rain and takes the sun, 10 ft across, woven webbing straps on all four sides with hooks for the edge of the body, and two reinforced straps for the top. When the season ends it folds small enough to carry under one arm. It ships free to the US in 5 to 10 business days, and it comes with the one thing we can actually promise: 90 days to return it or get your money back.
I'll be honest:
this cover isn't for every rig. Shorter than 18 ft or wider than 10 ft, and none of the nine sizes fit, so keep your money. Parked somewhere damp with no way to leave a gap under the cover, and you're better off waiting for the spacer. And if you want the sides and the wheels wrapped too, buy a full-body cover from someone who makes one.
There are also two things about it we don't know: the raised front of a fifth wheel, and how much snow it holds. We don't have the maker's answer on either of them, and an honest gap beats a confident guess.
Last, the price. It's set by length, from $199 at 18 and 21 ft to $389 at 44 ft, and the table above is the price for one cover. The bundle box on the product page opens on a 2-pack, so if you own one rig, click it down to 1.
That's why you can try it risk-free.
Read your length off the table, or open the product page and pick it there. Then let the 90 days do the deciding. Wrong size, wrong roof, wrong idea, whatever the reason, tell us within 90 days and either the cover comes back to us or the money goes back to you. Shipping to the US costs you nothing.
