Winter time again,.... Time to Cover it Up

Time to put the cover on again.  At first, this was a two person job, but I have found a way to get it done by myself using two ladders, a GoPro, and a Drone.


  1. First, I find it best to have the camper cover laid out open on the driveway or yard with the roof side up just as if it was in place on the camper.
  2. Then, fold one of the sides up and over the top section.  I typically chose the side opposite the camper door.
  3. Fold over the other side back ontop of the other.  This way you have only a plan view of the cover with the sides flopped over the top.
  4. Fold one edge of the roof now about 1/3rd across the roof.  
  5. Go around the other side, and fold that roof edge back over the center again. 
  6. Now, roll from the rear to the front.
  7. Get both ladders positioned at the front of the camper and lift up the roll up ontop of the camper and set in the middle.
  8. Unroll down the center of the camper for the full length, carefully going over the AC and antenna.
  9. Unfold the sections so that the roof is covered, but don't go down the sides yet, time to check the alignment and position on the roof.
  10. Once aligned, roll down the sides and get ready to button it up.
So, that list is hard to describe if you haven't had the struggle with one of these huge covers,.... definitely don't try it on a day with any wind!  Here is a short video from this year to help put action to the description above.
