Covering camper inside barn

A tarp from Harbor Freight or Walmart will work.

The RV tarps are very nice (and you pay the price for them), because they let air through, to avoid moisture issues....but if you allow some air to get around under a regular blue tarp, you should be fine.

One of the concerns inside the barn would be bird droppings (a great reason for the tarp) and mice getting into the RV.

Hi I am about to store my Jayco travel trailer. I am planning on storing it inside my father in laws barn. It is very dusty in there and we think it would be best to use some sort of cover on it to keep it free from getting dirty and dusty. Can I buy any cheap tarp or cover? or should I buy an actual rv cover? I see ADCO has an aquashed cover which looks like it is meant for milder climate and not really the elements, but with it being indoors I would think it would work? Any ideas???

Thanks in advance!

This is just my opinion. I would not cover it. If you are storing it inside you don't need to worry about rain, sun, snow, etc. If dust is all you are worried about, then one quick wash in the spring will take care of that. As others have said, it won't get dusty inside unless you leave windows/vents open. My travel trailer got covered with mud and dirt this spring as I was driving to a USFS campground on a freshly graveled road in the pouring rain. Surely far more dirt than your TT will get sitting inside a barn. I just gave it a good washing and it was shining like new.

The RV covers are superior to a plastic tarp because they don't scratch the finish as much. The best protection, IMO, would be to shrink wrap it. Around here, it is all the rage for high $$$ boats and such. If you do cover tightly or shrink wrap, I'd allow for some ventilation or moisture control.

I'm not sure how much dust would get on the inside... These trailers should be water tight. If you must cover it: I would get an RV cover for sure.
