The IronCrest Arbor Luxe RV Metal Cover provides permanent, weather-resistant shelter for motorhomes, campers, and travel trailers up to 26 feet long. Built from heavy-gauge galvanized steel with a single-span arched roof, it handles snow loads up to 35 PSF with proper installation, sheds rain efficiently through integrated gutter channels, and resists UV degradation and corrosion through a light gray protective powder-coat finish.

Product Highlights
Reinforced Galvanized Steel Frame
The heavy-gauge galvanized steel support posts and beams are engineered for long-term structural stability under sustained load and weather exposure. Galvanization provides corrosion resistance at the material level, with the powder-coat finish adding a second protective layer against rust, UV fading, and surface weathering.
Single-Span Arched Roof
The arched single-span roof eliminates flat sections where rain and snow can pool, promoting efficient natural runoff toward the integrated gutter channels. This reduces structural stress from standing water and accumulated snow weight under normal use conditions.
35 PSF Snow Load Rating
The Arbor Luxe is rated to support snow loads up to 35 PSF when installed per manufacturer specifications. This makes it suitable for regions that receive moderate to heavy seasonal snowfall, provided the structure is correctly anchored and installed on an adequate base.
Integrated Gutter Channels
Built-in gutter channels run along the roofline and direct water flow away from the base posts and the ground surface around the structure, helping protect both the foundation area and the surrounding property surface from pooling and erosion.
Wide Open Drive-In Access
At 16 ft wide and 13 ft high, the Arbor Luxe provides generous clearance for most Class A motorhomes, Class C campers, fifth-wheel trailers, and travel trailers. The open layout allows straightforward drive-in and drive-out without tight maneuvering.
UV-Resistant Light Gray Protective Coating
The light gray powder-coat finish resists UV degradation, maintains its color under prolonged sun exposure, and provides a corrosion-resistant outer layer over the galvanized steel substrate. The finish is applied over the galvanized frame for a two-stage protection system.
12-Year Frame Warranty / 10-Year Panel Warranty
The Arbor Luxe is backed by a 12-year structural frame warranty and a 10-year roof panel warranty, subject to proper installation and normal use conditions.

Maintenance Schedule
- Monthly: Rinse roof panels with water to remove accumulated dirt, debris, and buildup from the gutter channels.
- Seasonally: Inspect all anchor points, base connections, and structural hardware for tightness and signs of corrosion.
- Annually: Tighten all fasteners to specification and evaluate the condition of the powder-coat finish. Touch up any areas showing surface wear to maintain the corrosion protection layer.
Important Information
- Installation: Professional installation is strongly recommended. The 35 PSF snow load rating is only valid when the structure is installed and anchored according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Improper installation may affect the snow load rating and warranty coverage.
- Permits: Permanent metal structures of this size may require a building permit or HOA approval depending on your local jurisdiction. Check with your local planning or building department before installation.
- Shipping: This product ships via freight due to its size and weight. Delivery is to a curbside or accessible ground-level location. Confirm site access before ordering.
- Surface requirements: A stable, level concrete or adequately compacted gravel base is required for proper anchoring. Installation on unprepared or soft ground may affect structural performance and may affect warranty validity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size RV will fit under the Arbor Luxe?
The Arbor Luxe provides 26 ft of covered length, 16 ft of interior width, and 13 ft of height clearance. This accommodates most Class A motorhomes, Class C campers, fifth-wheel trailers, and travel trailers within these dimensions. Always measure your RV’s full height including roof-mounted accessories such as AC units and antennas before ordering.
What is the snow load rating and how is it achieved?
The Arbor Luxe is rated to 35 PSF snow load when installed per manufacturer specifications. Proper anchoring into a stable concrete or compacted gravel base is required to achieve this rating. Refer to the installation documentation for anchoring hardware requirements specific to your ground conditions.
Does the arched roof handle rain and snow runoff effectively?
Yes. The single-span arched roof design promotes natural runoff of rain and snow, reducing the likelihood of pooling or accumulation compared to flat-panel designs. Integrated gutter channels direct water away from the base posts and the ground surface around the structure.
Do I need a building permit to install this cover?
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction. Permanent metal structures of this size frequently require a building permit, HOA approval, or both. We recommend confirming all requirements with your local planning or building department before purchasing and scheduling installation.
What surface does this need to be anchored into?
A stable, level concrete slab or adequately compacted gravel base is recommended for proper anchoring. Installation on unprepared or soft ground may affect structural performance and warranty coverage. The installation documentation specifies anchoring hardware and base requirements in detail.
What are the warranty terms?
The Arbor Luxe carries a 12-year structural frame warranty and a 10-year roof panel warranty. Coverage is subject to proper installation per manufacturer specifications and normal use conditions. Contact us for full warranty documentation.
How is this product shipped?
The Arbor Luxe ships via freight due to its size and weight. Delivery is to a curbside or accessible ground-level location. Please confirm that your delivery site has adequate access for a freight vehicle before placing your order.
Is professional installation required?
Professional installation is strongly recommended. Correct installation and anchoring is critical to achieving the rated 35 PSF snow load performance and maintaining warranty coverage. Improper installation may void the snow load rating and structural warranty.
