Our verdict

A mid-range travel trailer cover built around an aluminum film and cotton lining top panel with PEVA and waterproof HDPE, designed to resist sun aging and tearing better than plain non-woven fabric. It ships with a notably complete kit -- gutter covers, tongue jack cover, repair patch, ladder cap, and straps -- plus 3 zippered access panels and 4 reflective strips. Six sizes fit 18 to 33 foot trailers; it's currently a sale item, so returns are excluded, and shipping is continental-US only.

Best for
Travel trailer owners who want a tear-resistant aluminum film top panel and a cover that arrives with its own repair patch and gutter covers.
Skip if
You're outside the 48 continental US, or you rely on returning sale purchases -- sale items are excluded from returns.

Why 3.7/5: Lifted by a long included-items list, 5 straps, vents and zippered access, and 18'-20' and 20'-22' in stock from $149.99. Held back by an unproven top described with four materials, no dimensions or warranty, four of six sizes unavailable on Oct 25, 2026 and a sale-price listing.

This travel trailer cover is listed at $149.99, down from $249.99, and sits above Leader Accessories' basic 210D cover in the lineup thanks to its upgraded top fabric. Six sizes span trailers from 18'-20' up to 30'-33'.

The distinguishing feature is the top panel: aluminum film plus cotton lining mixed with PEVA, which the listing describes as anti-UV, 100% waterproof HDPE that avoids the aging, disintegration, and tearing that sun exposure causes in ordinary top fabrics. The sides use 110g non-woven fabric against rain, snow, and scratches. For wind, there are 2 extra-long straps and 3 top straps with buckles, plus a side tension panel that binds the lower half; adjustable front and rear tension panels and elasticized hem corners pull the whole cover snug, and an air vent system with breathable material lets moisture evaporate from underneath.

The included kit is a real differentiator at this price: the cover, a storage bag, a tongue jack cover, 6 gutter covers with sponge to shield the cover from sharp corners, an adhesive repair patch, a ladder cap cover, 2 long straps, and 3 top straps with buckles. Three zippered panels allow access to the RV doors and engine area at any time, and 4 reflective strips at the front and rear reduce the chance of collision at night. The listing warns to measure your RV accurately before ordering -- overall length includes the bumper but not the hitch, and it recommends adding about a foot for a roof-mounted AC unit.

Shipping and returns: Leader Accessories ships only within the 48 continental United States (not Alaska, Hawaii, or international), free on orders of $70 or more and a flat $10 otherwise, with 1-2 business days of processing and 2-6 business days in transit. Returns run 30 days; defective, wrong, or incomplete items get a prepaid return label, while personal-reason returns are at the buyer's expense. Sale items and gift cards are not returnable, and exchanges are possible within 24 hours of ordering, before shipping.

How it compares

The 210D Ripstop Travel Trailer RV Cover with Tire Covers review lists a comparable kit (storage bag, tongue jack cover, 6 gutter covers, repair patch, ladder cap) plus 4 tire covers, on a 210D polyester top. At the six sizes the two share, this cover is cheaper at 18'-20' ($149.99 against $164.99), 20'-22' ($161.99 against $174.99) and 30'-33' ($209.99 against $214.99), and dearer at 22'-24' ($199.99 against $184.99), 24'-27' ($216.99 against $194.99) and 27'-30' ($230.99 against $204.99). So the earlier text's 'unusually complete' kit is not unique to this cover. On Oct 25, 2026 this cover showed 18'-20' and 20'-22' as available, against 16'-18', 18'-20' and 24'-27' for the bundle.

The 210D Ripstop Travel Trailer RV Cover, Silver review lists a 210D top with no kit beyond a repair patch in its heading, at $169.99 for 18'-20' and $159.99 for 20'-22', and it was unavailable at every size. The 5-Ply Travel Trailer RV Cover, Gray review lists a non-woven top and costs more than this cover at all six shared sizes, for example $239.99 against $149.99 at 18'-20' and $245.99 against $230.99 at 27'-30'. This cover suits an owner of an 18 to 33 foot trailer who wants an aluminum film top with a repair kit in the box and can use the 18'-20' or 20'-22' size now; skip it if you need a larger size from stock, a stated warranty or a refund option on a sale item.

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 (Fits 18' - 20' at $149.99) is above the $70 free-shipping line, so the $10 fee does not apply; the page shows a crossed-out $249.99, 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 4 of the 6 sizes were not.

What we liked

  • Top panel upgraded to aluminum film + cotton lining mixed with PEVA, anti-UV and 100% waterproof HDPE, to resist sun aging and tearing
  • Unusually complete accessory kit: storage bag, tongue jack cover, 6 sponge gutter covers, adhesive repair patch, and ladder cap cover
  • 3 zippered panels allow access to the RV doors and engine areas while covered
  • 4 reflective strips at front and rear for night-time visibility, plus a weighted toss-bag for tool-free installation
  • Air vent system and breathable material let trapped water evaporate, and the full cut leaves room for ladders and AC units

Worth noting

  • Priced as a sale item, and Leader Accessories' return policy excludes sale items from returns
  • Leader Accessories ships only within the 48 continental US (not Alaska, Hawaii, or international)
  • The listing stresses taking an accurate measurement before ordering -- six sizes span 18 to 33 feet

Questions before you buy

What makes the top panel different from cheaper covers?

It is upgraded to aluminum film + cotton lining mixed with PEVA, which the listing describes as anti-UV and 100% waterproof HDPE, to avoid the aging and tearing sun exposure causes in plain top fabrics.

What accessories are included?

A storage bag, tongue jack cover, 6 gutter covers with sponge, an adhesive repair patch, a ladder cap cover, 2 long straps, and 3 top straps with buckles.

Can I access the RV doors while it's covered?

Yes -- there are 3 zippered panels for access to the doors and engine areas at any time.

How should I measure my trailer?

Take an accurate measurement: overall length includes the bumper but not the hitch, and the listing recommends adding about 1 foot if you have a roof-mounted AC unit.

What we couldn’t verify

  • The top is described with four materials (aluminium film, cotton lining, 'peva' and '100% waterproof HDPE') with no layer order, thickness or proof; 'tear-resistant' (title) and 'UNTI-UV' have no rating, and the product details list the material as 'Aluminum, Cotton'.
  • The earlier text's 'down from $249.99' is the crossed-out price of 18'-20' only; the others run $269.99 to $349.99. Prices do not rise with length: 30'-33' ($209.99) costs less than 24'-27' ($216.99) and 27'-30' ($230.99).
  • Four of the six sizes (22'-24', 24'-27', 27'-30', 30'-33') were unavailable on Oct 25, 2026, a point the earlier text does not make; 18'-20' and 20'-22' were available.
  • The earlier text calls the kit 'unusually complete'; the 210D cover with tire covers lists a comparable kit plus 4 tire covers.
  • The page gives no width, height, weight, color or warranty, tags the cover 'Custom Fit' while offering six length ranges, and says only to 'take an accurate measurement' with no length rule.
  • The earlier text says the listing gives a measuring rule (overall length includes the bumper but not the hitch; add about 1 foot for a roof-mounted AC unit) and calls the toss-bag install tool-free; the page text read on Oct 25, 2026 has neither.
