Travel Trailer Storage Protection: Covering the Trailer and Exterior Gear

A travel trailer is often stored with equipment attached or placed nearby: steps, spare wheels, racks, awnings, and outdoor accessories. A complete storage plan should consider both the trailer body and the gear that is exposed beside it. A suitable travel trailer cover begins with a clear record of the trailer's dimensions and configuration.

Protect the trailer body

Roof panels and side walls are exposed to sunlight, rain, dust, and falling debris. Before covering the trailer, clean and dry the exterior, close openings, and check roof fixtures. The selected cover should follow the roofline and remain stable around corners and lower edges.

Account for exterior accessories

Bike racks, ladders, spare-wheel carriers, awnings, and storage boxes can change the shape of the trailer. Measure the trailer with the accessories installed if they will remain in place. Separate covers may be more practical for loose equipment or accessories with unusual shapes.

Storage checklist

• Record trailer length, width, and highest fixed point.
• Photograph roof fixtures, front hitch area, rear accessories, and side openings.
• Use suitable fastening and check it after strong wind.
• Inspect the cover, roofline, seams, and accessories periodically.
