Camco UltraGuard Pop-Up Camper Cover - 16'-18' Long

by: Nathan 09/15/2022

After using it for a year in Michigan (snow, rain, shine, and wind) it still looks as good as it did when I purchased it. I am very pleased with the quality. I also really appreciate the straps that buckle underneath to keep it in the trailer during windy days. I decided to use them after seeing the wind blow the cover off my pop-up when I first used it.1408315

The corner on the camper ripped through the cover like a hot knife through butter. I put some tape on it but it continues to tear.1368537

Sorry you had a TEARable time! Hahah sorry couldnt help it. Have you tried using a pool noodle to take the edge off those corners?

Didn't even last one year sitting outside in our yard. I was able to get a replacement under warranty, but I don't think the second one will last either.1214826

Thank you for your review. Could you please give me a little more detail about how this cover did not work out for you?

Several big rips. In addition, the unripped canvas was clearly wearing thin from wind, moisture, sun, or whatever.

Thanks for the additional info. I personally have seen better luck with Adco brand covers like this one here with a 2 year warranty: item # 290-12295, but I can see why you chose the Camco one since it states it is better for snowy regions. I was going to suggest, to deter from tears, to add foam or cut pool noodles around corners and other sharp edges.

The cover was included with the camper when we sold it about a year ago1382802

What a great purchase, ours is parked outside and this cover protects it from all of the elements Our trailer looks brand new. We have upgraded to a tt and will be purchasing a cover for this one. When we traded our pop up in and told them we have had it covered it helped with the trade in value984039

The cover has held up remarkably well, especially considering the rig is parked under a canopy of Doug for - very little staining and detritus brushes off easily. Dry as a bone underneath, no signs of condensation or mold. It’s also easy on and off. My only complaint is I wish I hadn’t bought “oversized just in case.” The recommended model would have been plenty generous.1277726

This cover did exactly what it was supposed to do and was easy to install. 0 rips and tares, all straps still in tact, 0 mold or mildew. We are now in need of a cover for a bigger camper and will again go with Camco.1312184

I am thrilled with my new cover. The fabric and construction seems durable and it easily fit over our pop-up camper. The rock sack is an added bonus.1145576

This is a good cover, though not as durable as I'd hoped. I managed to put some small tears in it while removing ice and snow from on top. It came with a small repair kit that was adequate for the repair.
The cover easily goes over the spare tire and battery box and has elastic to hold it snug. I especially like that it came with a throw-bag for easily tossing the straps under the trailer. The four straps work very well to secure the cover even in high winds.
I folded and placed terry cloth towels on the four sharp corners of the trailer to keep the cover from wearing thru at the corners. This has worked well.1530792

Pulled on brand new cover strap and it tore the fabric. It also is pretty short on the sides of my Thor Freedom Traveler A30. So far no better than the junky ADCO covers.??The ADCO cover is easier to install wi the a better securing system but I have have been lucky to get more than 1 Maine winter out of 4 of them.1707474

The biggest headache was to locate the front and rear. Unfortunately, had to unfold on the ground to determine and refold to put back up on roof; and at that time, tore a small part of the covering. There were no instructions when it came to the two, long rolled up straps. I did thread one of the straps thru the loops at the bulkhead and tied it down, and the other to the underside of the back of the 5th. Overall, it's a great cover and happy with it.690510

I loved the cover ! The material is strong, the seams are good and it fit just the way we wanted. I appreciated the instructions on how to unfold and roll up the cover inside out in order to place it easier onto the roof and let it fall into place. It came with small covers for the gutters but they didn't fit well, so we took a suggestion from another review and cut a pool noodle to fit over them which worked perfectly and will protect our cover from tearing. it also came with a rock bag to toss the straps under the belly. It had a storage bag for when we take it off and it came with what looked like a cover for the a/c unit on top, but it was too small for ours. The zippered side was right on target to give us access into the camper after the cover was on, which we needed because we forgot to turn off a light and left a bag of items inside. Lol. It was a very windy day when we installed it so it took longer than we expected but the vent holes and everything worked very well to let out the air. We are in Pennsylvania so I'll try to update the review after the winter snow and ice. It is covering a Coachman Catalina Legacy 30ft 283RKS.Please take a look at the photos.1458364

First of all your 'product image' photo does NOT match what you are selling.
I made my own gutter covers from 3.5" pieces of pool noodles. I'm not certain why directions tell you to turn it inside out...when I got it on the roof, I had to struggle to turn it right side out. We have a solar panel and AC unit that put some strain on the way it fits. There is no velcro around the camper jacks as one reviewer stated. We live on a lake where the winds howl 25-30 mph at times. I'll post photos in the spring. Hopefully it will hold up as it seems to be reinforced and quality material.1680168

This cover is heavier material and easier to use than other similarly priced covers I have used in the past on other RV's. Also, the cover is soft so as not to scuff the RV in high wind conditions. The extra straps and velcro attachments are in the exact locations to insure proper fit.1736274

Wasn't sure if this cover would work for my 2005 Lance 1071. I was able to talk to customer service and was assured of the measurements. Very pleased with my cover and etrailer.com1689353

The best advise I can give is DO YOUR HOME WORK BEFORE YOU BUY, and get the correct cover for your needs! I have read too many reviews from people who bought the wrong cover, i.e. a light weight cover meant for short term storage but use it long term, and then complain it didn't last. We have a V-nose travel trailer and since no one makes covers specifically for them, we had to find what we thought would be the best one for it. We measured down the top of the trailer from tip of the V to the end of the ladder and looked at ones that would fit that measurement. We decided on the Camco UltraGuard cover because of the fact that it was heavy duty and recommended for cold and snowy climates (we live in Michigan). We liked the idea of the many air vents where the sides meet the top, and the numerous tie-down straps with bungee cord ends. We watched a video about the easiest way to put a cover on, since this was all new to us. It recommended laying it out on the ground first and locating the "Front" and "Rear" labels so you knew which end was which before hauling all 38 lbs of it up on the top of the trailer, where it would be more difficult and unsafe to figure out. Also it recommended turning it inside out, with the sides folded up over the top so the sides could be dropped down easily, rather than having to be pulled out from underneath the top, as would have to be done if opened from the way it was folded at the factory. Before installation we followed the enclosed instructions which said to cover any sharp edges and points on the trailer before installing the cover. We cut pieces of swimming noodles to cover the rain gutter ends and the corners of the step frames. We then loosened and lowered the AM/FM antenna and covered it and the folding TV antenna with an old towel. Being heavy duty fabric, the cover was a little eavy to get up on top of the trailer, so we had to use another ladder, not the one attached to the trailer, to get it up there. That was actually the hardest part, but once up, it was easy to adjust in place per the video instructions and drop the sides down. Final adjustment could be made from the ground by pulling carefully on the sides . NOTE: The tie-down straps do not go all the way under the trailer as do many other brands, but have soft-fabric covered aluminum hooks you bend into shape yourself to hook underneath the trailer. We were not sure we liked that arrangement at first, but it seems to work well holding the sides of the cover down and in place. We used the frame of the trailer as much as possible to hook onto rather than just the bottom of the sides. The instructions said not to pull the bungee sections tight but to leave a little spring in them so they have some give when the wind blows the cover. I think the reason is if they were tight with no give, the wind might possibly rip the tie-down from the cover. The back straps used to tighten it work very well, but since our trailer is a V-nose, we had to fudge with the straps on the front to snug it down as tightly as possible, so we added another bungee strap to hold down the excess fabric of the front corners. The whole installation took two of us a little over an hour, but next time should go faster now that we have it figured out. We wondered how well it would all hold, but this past week we had sustained winds of 35-40 MPH with gusts of 55 MPH for over 24 hours, and the cover hardly even moved. All you could see was the sides poofing out slightly and then the air vent flaps would lift and let the excess air out, so the top never ballooned up at all! It also rained very hard and the cover just beaded up the water and it ran off. The main trick is to take your time and get it snugged down with no loose, baggy, flapping areas where the wind can get under it. Now we have no doubt it will also hold up just fine to the cold winter snow and winds here in Michigan! 718478
