While it’s not always necessary to tarp your RV in the winter, it can be a smart idea to keep it safe from the elements if done correctly. Proper tarping can protect your RV from snow and ice, but it’s important to consider some factors before doing so:
To tarp your RV correctly, choose a breathable material, secure it tightly to prevent flapping in the wind, and periodically check on your RV to prevent moisture buildup and other problems. Ultimately, whether or not to tarp your RV in the winter depends on your specific circumstances and needs.
When choosing a tarp for your RV, there are a few things to consider. Look for a tarp made from high-quality materials like polyethylene or polyester, that is breathable to prevent moisture buildup and mildew growth, and that fits your RV properly. Choose a UV-resistant tarp if your RV will be exposed to direct sunlight, and look for a tarp with grommets and tie-downs to secure it tightly. Finally, opt for a light-colored tarp to reflect sunlight and prevent heat buildup. By following these tips, you can choose a tarp that will keep your RV protected during the winter months.

It is generally recommended to store an RV with the slides in, especially if the RV is going to be in storage for an extended period of time. Leaving the slides out can put extra weight and stress on the slide mechanisms, which can cause them to become damaged or malfunction over time. Additionally, leaving the slides out can expose the RV’s interior to more light and potential moisture, which can lead to damage or deterioration of interior furnishings and materials. By keeping the slides in during storage, the RV’s interior is better protected from potential damage and the slide mechanisms are preserved for longer use. However, it’s important to follow manufacturer recommendations for your specific RV model and consult with a professional if you have any concerns about storing your RV.
