5-Ply Travel Trailer RV Cover, Gray Review

This is Leader Accessories' standard 5-ply cover: the same top fabric as the brand's pole-equipped Easy-Setup model (reviewed separately on this site), without the assist poles, across the widest size range of the three Leader covers compared here. The product page lists ten bands running from 196 inches long for 14 to 16 foot trailers, through 220 inches for 16 to 18 feet and 292 inches for 22 to 24 feet, up to at least 425 inches for 33 to 35 foot trailers, plus a 35 to 38 foot option whose length is not printed on the page; all are 102 inches wide and 104 inches tall. As of October 16, 2026, Leader Accessories prices it from $179.99 up to $304.99 depending on size, with a $225.99 list price shown specifically against the 20 to 22 foot option.

The top panel is described as extra-thick 5-ply non-woven fabric mixed with an anti-UV composite and a waterproof membrane, with 110g non-woven fabric on the sides, aimed at rain, snow, dirt, and UV exposure. The page adds double-stitched seams and an air vent system meant to cut wind stress and let moisture evaporate from under the cover. Leader Accessories does not publish independent lab data, such as a UV-blocking percentage or water-column rating, for this fabric, and we could not find any either.

The clearest outside account we found was not a lab test but a camping-forum post from 2022: an owner described buying a 16 to 18 foot version of this same fabric line (sold through Amazon under a variant name that adds 'Adhesive Repair Patches') and having it disintegrate into powder after about 18 months, inside the window of a 24-month warranty referenced elsewhere on Leader's site, though this specific product page states no warranty at all. The owner also said Leader Accessories could not locate the order by its Amazon order number, and Amazon ultimately refunded half the purchase price. Other owners in that same thread recommended ADCO covers instead, and one commenter argued that inexpensive covers generally use polypropylene fabric with poor UV resistance that degrades within two to three years; Leader does not name the polymer behind its non-woven fabric, so we cannot confirm that claim applies here specifically. This is one account, not a controlled test, and may not represent typical results.

Installation relies on a weighted toss-bag and an integrated strap attachment, which Leader's page says avoids crawling under the trailer to thread tension straps, plus adjustable tension panels to reduce stress when tightening. Three zippered panels reach the doors and engine bay without removing the cover, and four reflective strips mark the front and rear for nighttime visibility. There is no pole system on this cover and the box does not include the duffle bag, ladder cap, or reinforcement patch bundled with the 300D sibling; getting the cover over the roof and any field repairs are left to the installer.

Against its own siblings: the Easy-Setup cover adds two assist poles and the same top fabric for about $60 more at a comparable size, and covers a narrower 18 to 38 foot range. The 300D top cover swaps in ripstop polyester, covers only 16 to 30 feet across four bands, and is the only one of the three with a stated warranty (2 years) plus a duffle bag, ladder cap, and reinforcement patch included. Outside the brand, Classic Accessories' Over Drive PermaPRO line starts at $610.95 (list $678.83) directly from classicaccessories.com as of October 2026, in ripstop fabric with a 5-year limited warranty, more than three times this cover's starting price.

Measuring matters here: Leader's page says overall length should include the bumper, ladder, and any rear-mounted spare tire, but not the hitch, and to add a foot if the trailer has a roof-mounted air conditioner.

Leader Accessories ships only to the 48 contiguous states, with no Alaska, Hawaii, or international delivery. Its refund policy doesn't accept returns on sale items, and this cover is listed below its list price, so measure with a tape rather than guessing from the chart.

Specifications

How it compares

The Upgraded Easy-Setup RV Cover review lists the same 5-ply non-woven top and 110g sides plus 2 assist poles, in eight sizes from 18'-20'. Size for size the prices are close: both list $239.99 at 18'-20', and at the seven other shared sizes the gray cover is between $24.00 cheaper (20'-22' and 24'-27') and $5.00 dearer (22'-24' and 35'-38'). So the earlier text's 'about $60' gap compares different sizes, 14'-16' here ($179.99) with 18'-20' there ($239.99). On Oct 25, 2026 this cover showed only 14'-16' and 18'-20' as available, against five of eight sizes there.

Two covers with other fabrics cost less at shared sizes. The 210D Ripstop Travel Trailer RV Cover with Tire Covers review lists 210D polyester with 4 tire covers and other extras: $144.99 for 14'-16' and $164.99 for 18'-20', which is $35.00 and $75.00 less than here, though its 14'-16' size was unavailable. The Travel Trailer RV Cover with Aluminum Film Top and Cotton Lining review lists $149.99 for 18'-20' and $161.99 for 20'-22', which is $90.00 and $64.00 less, and both of those sizes were available. Choose this gray cover for a 14'-16' or 18'-20' trailer when you want the 5-ply non-woven top and the toss-bag install and can accept no stated warranty; skip it if price matters most or you need a size the store showed as unavailable.

Shipping, returns and warranty

Read on Oct 25, 2026 from the store's shipping policy, refund policy and terms of service. Leader Accessories is both the maker and the store, so there is no separate maker warranty page to check against.

• Where it ships: the 48 continental United States only. No PO boxes and no military addresses (APO, FPO). Confirm the address before ordering, because later changes may cost extra.
• Shipping fee: free on orders of $70 or more, otherwise $10. The policy adds that the store usually runs promotions that make shipping free on most items, without saying which.
• Timing: 1 to 2 business days to process, then 2 to 6 business days in transit, by USPS, UPS or another carrier, with tracking by email. Customized or monogrammed items take 4 or more working days to process. Report a shipping problem within 30 days of ordering.
• Return window: 30 days after you receive the item to request a return or exchange. Contact the store first for the return address; the item goes back in its original packaging and in a state that allows resale.
• Who pays return shipping: the store sends a pre-paid label once it accepts a return, which its policy ties to items that arrive defective, incorrect or incomplete (send the order number, photos and videos). For a return for personal reasons, return freight is at your expense. If the store ships the wrong item, it reimburses the return shipping fee when it receives the item back.
• Refunds: to the original payment method after the warehouse inspects the return; the policy says the credit can take up to 7 to 10 more business days. If the value of the products left on the order is under $30, a $10 shipping fee is deducted from the refund; the policy does not say whether that applies to a one-item order returned in full.
• Exchanges and cancellations: an exchange is possible only within 24 hours of ordering, before the package ships, and only if the item is in stock. An order that has been processed cannot be canceled.
• Not returnable: sale items and gift cards, custom or personalized products, perishables, personal care goods and hazardous materials. The policy does not define "sale items".
• Warranty: none stated. The shipping and refund policies do not mention one, the store's /pages/warranty address returned a 404 page on Oct 25, 2026, and section 13 of the terms of service provides products "as is", without warranties of durability or fitness for a particular purpose, except as the store expressly states.
• Prices and errors: the terms let the store change prices without notice and correct errors in descriptions, prices or shipping charges, including by canceling an order after it is placed.
• Contact: [email protected] is the only contact the policies give; the store's /pages/contact and FAQ addresses returned 404 pages.

Where the pages disagree

• Shipping speed: the product page banner says "Free Same-Day Shipping over $70". The shipping policy lists 1 to 2 business days of processing before the 2 to 6 day delivery window, and sets the free-shipping line at "greater or equal to $70".
• Exchanges: the banner says "30-Day Easy Return & Exchange". The refund policy gives 30 days to request a return but allows an exchange only within 24 hours of ordering and before shipment.
• Guarantee wording: the refund page is headed "30-Day Money-Back Guarantee", but the text under it covers defective, incorrect or incomplete items and says returns for personal reasons are at your expense.

For this product, the review's option (Fit 14'-16'L at $179.99) is above the $70 free-shipping line, so the $10 fee does not apply; the page shows a crossed-out $225.99, so the refund policy's exclusion of sale items may cover it (the policy does not define the term); that size was in stock on Oct 25, 2026, while 8 of the 10 sizes were not.
