Video Transcript for Adco Pop Up Camper SFS AquaShed RV Cover In-Depth Look

Hi, everyone, I'm Evangeline right here at etrailer. Today, we have the ADCO SFS AquaShed cover, designed specifically for pop-up campers. Now, this cover is available in different sizes for different types of campers. So we're gonna go over the different features of this cover and help you find which one is gonna be the best fit for you. Now, we have the different sizes available here on our site. So whether your pop-up is eight feet long or as large as 18 feet long, we've got the fit for you.

What's special about this fabric is that with the SFS, which stands for Super Fabric System AquaShed series, they have this combination of fabrics here to really protect your camper from rain, snow, UV rays, dirt, things like that, while allowing moisture to still escape. You'll see the preparation on the fabric, which does allow for better airflow on the inside. When your camper's all closed up, especially during long seasons, you wanna prevent mold and mildew from building up. So better airflow allows for that. For the best experience, you do want a really secure fit while also preventing flat spots that snow and water can just sit on.

So it's important that you measure your trailer so that you don't have as much excess fabric. Where you measure is not here by the spare tire, but rather, right to the back of your pop-up camper, right where the bumper is. And then you're just gonna measure all the way out to the front of the camper, before the A-frame. If you have air conditioners or fans up top, or objects to the side, that is fine. We do have measurements here on our site to account for that width or differences of height.

In the front, you're going to have stretchy corners similar to a fitted sheet on a mattress. And then you also have different cinch straps that go underneath the camper that buckle together and cinch to get that tighter fit. Since that fitted fit does not cover the entirety of your trailer, depending on what else you have exposed, we have options like propane tank covers or tool boxes or battery covers that can help cover the front area of your camper. And for the wheels, the best way that I protect my tires is with specific wheel covers for the tires. That then provides all around protection, especially important to prevent dry rot and wear and tear of the tires, well, before even using the camper.

And this is what your cover will look like, all packed up in the bag because once you take it out of the box, it's gonna expand so much. Good thing the bag is large enough where it's easy to fold up and then roll up to fit all in here. Plus you have this cinch up tap to make it easier to store whether inside your camper or in your garage. For reference, I actually have this installed on my camper, a 2016 Aliner Ascape. So definitely a smaller pop-up trailer. And I was looking for a cover because if I'm going to be parked outside, we have a lot of different seasons here in Missouri. We have snow in the winter time, we have a lot of pollen and just sap from trees throughout the year, and we have a really hot summer, so I need something that can protect from all the stuff that's falling down. But I also need something that's breathable enough so we don't accumulate all that moisture inside, developing into mold and mildew. So that's where the AquaShed fabrics were really appealing to me, and hopefully that's something you're able to see in this video as well. The most important thing though, is making sure it fits your camper. So if you have a similar experience and you found the perfect cover for your own trailer, for your own camper, I'd love to hear about it. Send us a picture, send us a review, mention what camper you have and maybe can inspire some other people along the way who are looking for solutions for theirs. Now, if you're curious about how I install this on this camper, stick around. To set this up, and by the way, this is actually doable with just one person, but so much easier with a second person to help out. What I recommend doing is just lay this out beside your camper and in the front and the back of the cover, you're gonna see some labels, labeling front or rear. So that will help you line up the correct sides in front of your pop-up camper. And from here, you just start with one end and then you go over. Now, my trick is that I actually bring it all the way over to a corner on each side before I bring it up and over the camper. It's kind of as if you were covering your mattress with a sheet. Getting the corners first is the way to go. Now, on some campers, you are gonna have some sharp edges like gutters and things like that. So if you feel like there's a sharp edge where it may possibly tear your cover, try to cover that with some foam or a rag or even some painters tape, and that will prevent damage to the cover as you slide it over. Usually when you measure for your camper, you do not include anything past the bumper or past the hitch. In our case here, since our cover fits not just the bumper, but also has enough length to go over the spare tire, we're gonna go ahead and cover that. But this will be different depending on your configuration on your camper, especially with the different lengths different campers are available in. On this sides, you're gonna have these little pockets that you can tuck your straps into. And when you're ready to use these straps to cinch around the trailer, you just take those out and these are gonna have a little plastic buckle on them. So while some of the larger covers have a little pouch that you can fill with some weights to make this process easier, since this is gonna be for smaller pop-ups, even just that plastic buckle is enough for weight to toss it underneath the camper to the other side. There's a buckle on the other side that this secures to. And from here, you can then cinch down just to get a tighter fit of the whole setup on your camper. So this is where it looks like on our specific pop-up here. Now, our pop-up is about 13 1/2 feet long, and with this cover covering a range from 12 feet to 14 feet, you can see the just excess fabric on this specific camper. And that's okay because there are some different grommets on all four corners that allow you to cinch around your camper to get a better fit. Notice we do not go over the A-frame because this is designed to be used with separate covers for things on your A-frame. But for the rest of the camper, just go around, cinch things down. You do get a long piece of rope or cord that you can use to get the best fit for you. And that was a look at your ADCO SFS AquaShed RV covers for your pop-up campers right here at etrailer.
