RV Cover Patch Kit Selection and Application Guide
Ordering an RV Cover patch kit online is an easy solution to repairing your damaged cover. Below we outline easy to follow application instructions and offer factors to consider before you choose which patch kit to buy.
Installing an RV Cover Patch Kit in Under 5 Minutes
Step 1: Clean
Begin the application by cleaning the area to be patched. Use a damp towel to remove all dust and dirt from the front and backside of the treatment area. Give the cover a few minutes to dry; moisture is just as damaging to adhesion as debris.
Step 2: Trim
Trim your RV cover patch to the appropriate size, leaving an inch or more of material around all worn and torn areas. Be sure to round the corners to minimize the chance of your patch peeling.
Step 3: Apply
Apply firm pressure to the patch to secure it over the damaged area. Apply another patch on the opposite side of the cover.
Congratulations. You’ve patched your RV cover quickly and easily.
Factors to Consider Before Buying a Patch Kit
RV Cover Patch Kit Cost
Cost can more accurately be described as cost-effectiveness. Your RV cover patch kit’s primary purpose is to save you money on replacement costs. A fairly priced kit should fulfill your needs in an affordable manner. Look for patch kits of adequate size including extra material and additional patches. Err on the side of excess; you’ll want to apply patches both inside and outside of the affected area. This will account for mistakes and the possible need for future patching.
RV Cover Patch Kit Quality
Be sure to find a patch of adequate strength and durability. The material should be strong and the product should have reliable adhesion properties. If you have an appropriate water-resistant material on hand, Elmer’s Spray Glue or clear silicone sealant should be a suitable alternative.

Preventing the Need for Future RV Cover Patching
Most holes are caused by excessive wind damage from an un-secured or ill-fitting RV cover, or a sharp corner or point unaccounted for during the RV cover installation. Things like foam pipe insulation can be bought cheaply from your local hardware store and can be used to pad sharp edges. The foam is easy to install or put in place and can be held in place with simple duct tape. A little extra time to install an RV cover can make it last significantly longer.
