Summer is camping season and also the season that ages an RV fastest.
How do you protect an RV from the sun?
Protect an RV from sun damage by keeping wax or sealant on the sides, treating the roof with a UV protectant, covering tires, dressing rubber seals, and parking in shade or under a cover when possible. UV is the main cause of chalky oxidation and faded decals.
