- 4:28 - Find door access: A zippered panel lets them reach the trailer door.
- 5:55 - Protect contact points: They discuss keeping gutter edges from rubbing directly against the fabric.
- 7:07 - Secure the cover: Straps are a priority at their windy Colorado storage location.

Our checklist before your own installation
Use the demonstration for context, but follow the instructions supplied with your specific cover and RV. Product details and included accessories may differ from the kit shown in this older video.
- Measure your trailer using the current product's sizing diagram; do not choose from a model number alone.
- Start with a clean, dry exterior and identify sharp contact points.
- Choose calm weather and safe access methods. Do not copy roof-access techniques without checking your RV's instructions, and never walk on a covered roof.
- Position guards and secure straps as directed without excessive tension.
- Recheck fit after wind, and inspect for rubbing or moisture during storage.
A storage cover does not replace winterizing the RV's plumbing or appliances. Follow your owner's manual or consult a qualified service provider.
