The Ultimate Guide to Motorhome Covers & Top Covers – Protect Your Home on Wheels Year-Round

The Ultimate Guide to Motorhome Covers & Top Covers – Protect Your Home on Wheels Year-Round

Owning a motorhome is about freedom — the open road, spontaneous weekends away, and the joy of exploring the great outdoors. But when your home on wheels isn’t in motion, it deserves proper care and protection. From harsh UV rays and tree sap to frost, bird droppings, and general grime, your motorhome is exposed to the elements all year round.
That’s where a high-quality motorhome cover or top cover comes in. These protective solutions help preserve your vehicle’s finish, maintain its value, and save hours of cleaning before your next trip.

At UK Custom Covers, we design durable, weather-resistant solutions to safeguard your motorhome — whether you need complete body coverage or a lightweight top cover for shorter storage periods.
If you also own a caravan, you can explore our range of caravan covers and caravan top covers for equally effective protection.

Motorhome Full Covers – Complete All-Over Protection

A full motorhome cover provides total protection from top to bottom — ideal for long-term storage, off-season parking, or anyone looking to keep their vehicle spotless between adventures.

Our Motorhome Covers are crafted from 4-ply non-woven fabric with a PU coating, offering the perfect balance of waterproofing and breathability. This means moisture is kept out, while trapped condensation can still escape — preventing mould and mildew from forming.

Each cover includes reinforced securing straps, air vents, and reflective strips for visibility and fit stability in windy conditions. The non-abrasive inner layer ensures that paintwork, trims, and windows stay scratch-free, while the double-stitched seams enhance durability.

Benefits of a Full Motorhome Cover:

  • Shields against UV rays, rain, frost, and debris
  • Prevents paint fade and seal deterioration
  • Keeps your motorhome clean for spontaneous trips
  • Reduces the need for frequent washing or polishing
If your motorhome has a cab hump or satellite dome, we recommend ordering one size up for the perfect fit.

Motorhome Top Covers – Lightweight, Quick-Fit Protection

For those who store their motorhome on the drive, or need temporary protection while touring, a motorhome top cover is the perfect solution.

Our Motorhome Top Covers are made from 150D polyester fabric with a PU coating (85 GSM) — tough, waterproof, UV-resistant, and gentle on your paintwork. Designed to shield the most exposed area of your vehicle — the roof — these covers protect against tree sap, bird droppings, and sun exposure that can cause premature ageing.
Each top cover includes straps and hooks to keep it securely in place, even in windy conditions, and comes with a storage bag for easy transport.

Benefits of a Motorhome Top Cover:

  • Quick to fit and remove (ideal for one-person use)
  • Lightweight and easy to store
  • Prevents roof discolouration and dirt build-up
  • Protects skylights and roof vents from damage

If you’re storing your motorhome through winter, a full cover offers maximum all-season protection. For shorter stops or regular access to doors and lockers, a top cover is the more practical choice.
