How to Measure a Trailer Cover

Trailers, campers and RVs are made of durable, weather-resistant materials, but they are still susceptible to harsh sunlight and heavy rain damage. A trailer cover can offer additional protection to your recreational vehicle at a fraction of the cost of building an extra garage or awning. The best trailer covers are ordered to match your trailer size, so exact measurements are crucial to the proper fit.

      Measure the height of the trailer. Do not add in the air conditioner to the overall height. The standard trailer cover accommodates air conditioners.
