How to Make Tire Covers for an RV or Trailer

Tire covers protect your tires from damaging UV rays when your RV or camper is parked and sitting in the sun. It’s important to keep your tires protected to prevent dry rot and other damage and to extend your tires’ lifespan. We designed our wheel covers with a large opening in the back so they are easy to install and fasten around your tires. The hook-and-loop strap keeps the cover securely on your RV’s tires so it doesn’t blow away in the wind. A UV- and abrasion-resistant fabric like Sunbrella® Marine Grade is key to keeping your tires protected from the elements. Learn how to sew tire covers for your RV or any vehicle with this easy how-to video.
