When it comes to RVs, travel trailers, and motorhomes, it’s no secret that they are a major investment, much like a home. Many certainly exceed the cost of most automobiles and in order to protect your investment and to ensure many years of reliable service, RV owners should need to maintain the interior and the exterior of the RV. The best way to protect both the interior and exterior of an RV is to keep it garaged or sheltered.
Over time, the roof of the RV or motorhome will begin to show signs of age first due to constant exposure to the elements. The sun’s UV rays and ozone in the air begin to age all of the exterior finish but the roof is usually the first to show signs of exposure. Paint will begin to fade and any rubber or vinyl on the unit’s exterior will begin to crack and break down. When possible, it’s always best to shelter or cover the RV or motorhome.
