A protective covering applied to recreational vehicles, it involves encasing the camper in a plastic film that shrinks tightly when heated. This creates a barrier against the elements, safeguarding the vehicle from potential damage. For instance, a camper stored outdoors throughout winter can benefit from this application, preventing snow, ice, and UV rays from deteriorating its exterior.
The value of this protective layer lies in its ability to mitigate several detrimental factors. It offers a shield against moisture intrusion, preventing mold and mildew growth. The film also minimizes the fading and cracking of the camper’s paint and seals due to prolonged sun exposure. Historically, similar protective measures were employed in the marine industry before extending to recreational vehicles.
