Certain rv specific tarps have added features that make them more suited for storing your rv.
Putting a tarp on rv roof.
There should be an additional 4 feet.
While regular blue tarps could be the cheapest option for covering your rv they may not be the best.
Partially unroll your tarp to cover the damaged area from the roof s eaves to peak.
Sandwich the tarp by nailing a second 2 x 4 board to.
This moisture can leak into the rv or freeze and expand and can cause damage to your vehicle.
Unfold the tarp on the roof.
Most people will also need to use bungees or ropes to secure the tarp to the vehicle.
If you don t have a helper use the metal rings to hold down the tarp at the furthest four corners.
Try to pick a day that is not windy or else you may face frustration because as soon as you open the tarp up there it will start blowing all over the place.
You might consider a compromise using a dedicated rv cover and only placing a blue tarp over the top portion of the rv cover to keep water from dripping down from the roof.
These ropes may shift and flap in the wind or rub against the rv body causing damage.
While you certainly don t need to use a tarp when storing your rv many rvers choose to put some sort of covering over their camper.
If you have a helper this part is easy.
