Heavy snow cover your ac unit

Good tip.

Have the A/C covered and the slide in. We are on the outskirts of the blizzard, hope we don't get hit too hard. Stay safe everyone.

To me if you are going up on the roof to cover the A/C you might just as well cover the entire top with a Sunshield tarp which also covers all of the vents.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I don't have one of this rv covers right now... can I use one of those "blue tarps for now- just for the a/c?

Don't see why not, if you can get it to stay on, and not flap in the wind. I have seen a garbage bag and duct tape used short term.

Not saying it's impossible, but I can't see anyway what you are worried about can happen.

1-2 feet of snow is not uncommon in other parts of the country, where I live, and the original post info is not something I have ever been concerned about or had happen.

I't a snow storm.. not armageddon ;)

Hmmm, my popup is parked next to the house so I'll go knock the snow off the roof just to be safe. Not hard on a PUP. Last year I kept it in my garage at a different house.

Mine has yet to leak. About 2 feet of snow is in its final melt stages at this moment. It's sat outside since 2004, often with many feet of snow on top, and occasionally in 50 - 60 mph winds. Once in a while even at the same time. Maybe it's just been lucky...

Ya, I agree. If water could do then it would also leak in a hard driving rain.
