Choosing the right RV cover starts with knowing exactly what you’re measuring. In this video, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of determining your RV’s correct size so you can order a cover that fits securely and protects your investment.
Start by identifying your RV type and understanding how to measure its full length — not just what’s listed in the manufacturer’s specs. Factory measurements often exclude important add-ons like ladders, spare tires, and bumpers. To get the most accurate number, always measure your RV yourself from coupler to bumper, including any rear or front extensions.
If your tape measure isn’t long enough to span the entire RV, measure in sections and add them together to calculate the total length. Remember, while RV covers generally have consistent height dimensions, roof accessories such as air conditioners or vents can affect how the cover fits overall.
Once you’ve determined your RV’s total length, check the sizing chart to find the best cover option. For example, if your travel trailer measures just under 24 feet, it’s recommended to size up, choosing a 24-27 foot cover to ensure a proper fit and easy installation.
