Cover For Fifth Wheel

Need some advice on purchasing a good quality cover for the trailer to be stored for winter. We can get 1-2 feet of snow during the winter and I need to protect the trailer but I want the best quality. If anyone has any experience with this please give me your information.
  • All good but make sure its secure. If you have any dust in your area you may want to reconsider. Dust under the cover and wind = sandpaper. If you get any wind at all be sure to cover any sharp edges. Bubble wrap and painters tape. Stairs, antenae(s) Anything with a 90 degree corner needs wrapped if you get any wind.
    Best of luck!
  • We went with a KingBird cover for our 5ver after doing a lot of research but in the end it did not even make it through one winter here in high desert of NW Nevada. It developed a long rip from the top down along a zipper.
    I will say KingBird was very easy to deal with though, I sent them pictures of the damage and they refunded full purchase price and didn't have to return old cover.
  • We don't have a 5er, but I can tell you based on my experience with vintage cars, if nothing else, be absolutely sure it's breathable. You certainly don't want a build-up of moisture or mold, especially since the cover won't be coming off of it regularly.
  • While we store ours indoors here in upstate NY, believe this has come up before. In any case, ADCO make a good cover. You just have to make sure it's tied down well so wind doesn't catch it and rub the cover on the RV and all.
