Messages: 57 Likes Received: 1. Do you have ab ABS roof? Don't cover with a tar, you need to cover with breathable cover and protect from uv damage. Mar 12, 5. Messages: 14, Likes Received: Use a breathable cover like an ADCO or similar, not a tarp.
One advantage of a cover is to keep UV rays off the trailer surfaces. Mar 12, 6. I cover the roof only, in the winter only, with a regular blue plastic tarp. I use several bungee cords to secure it. I make sure that the tarp isn't very taunt, and doesn't extend too far on the sides. I do not wrap the entire camper. I always get a lot of negative comments from people about using this method, but I've been doing this for a couple of winters without any problems.
The reason that I don't use a breathable tarp is that I don't want any water that might accumulate from snow once it starts to melt from finding its past the seams and leak into the interior. I always winterize in November and usually if weather permits remove the tarp in March, so it isn't on the camper very long, and any snow that might accumulate is removed if on the camper longer than a few days.
This of course is just how I personally tarp it, as sort of a safety membrane, that works well with my pup's roof size it might now work for you or others. You can see a video of how I winterize by checking out my you tube channel called middyband. Mar 12, 7. Messages: 1, Likes Received: This is my opinion, Just say no to But it's your PU, BT, so it's up to you. I have a breathable cover that also blocks all those harmful sunrays. A tarp on a PU in summer is not a good mix.
It draws too much heat on your PU and will give it a 'heat stroke'. Roof damage being the main issue. I have known some folks to cover their PU with this kind of cover then put a tarp up over, tent style, not touching, as a temporay shelter for added coverage. I also have a AC cover as well. I keep the AC cover on mainly to keep those pesky little dirt dobbers and wasps at bay.

Yes, you can with a few preparations. Temperature is the biggest concern, both for yourself and for the camper. Make sure you have thick blankets and mattress pads and refrain from using the door too frequently if a heater is turned on.
Cover your propane tanks and any water lines to keep them insulated and protected from freezing. You may want to purchase a pop up gizmo, a cover that provides extra insulation. Many campers find it simple to set up their folding camping trailer single-handedly. Set-up is generally easier with at least two people working together, however, especially when it comes to leveling the camper.
Pop ups have built-in cranks and slide-outs that are typically easy to maneuver so that a pop up goes up in a jiffy. The parts of setups that are best done by two people are backing into the campsite and leveling the camper on the site.
The biggest thing about setting up at night is being as quiet as possible in consideration for your neighboring campers. Sound travels far and loud in the nighttime hours. A head lamp comes in handy as well as high-beam flashlights or lanterns that can be held by others or placed on a table. When you reach the campsite, turn the headlights off as soon as possible, or turn the tow vehicle around to give you extra light to finish unhooking and leveling the pop up.
