Product Highlights
Reinforced Galvanized Steel Frame
Heavy-gauge galvanized steel support posts and beams provide structural stability under sustained load. The galvanized core resists corrosion from the inside out, while the exterior powder-coat finish adds a second layer of protection against rust, UV fading, and surface weathering.
Precision-Curved Arched Roof
The reinforced single-span arched roof design eliminates flat sections where water and snow can pool. Rain and snowmelt run off naturally toward the integrated drainage channels, reducing structural stress and maintenance requirements over time.
130 MPH Wind Rating
The Aurora is engineered and rated to withstand wind speeds up to 130 MPH when properly anchored per the installation specifications. Anchor hardware requirements and anchoring specifications are detailed in the included installation documentation.
Integrated Drainage Channels
Built-in drainage 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.
Wide Drive-Through Clearance
At 16 ft wide and 14 ft high, the Aurora provides sufficient clearance for large Class A motorhomes, fifth-wheel trailers, and campers without requiring repositioning or special maneuvering to enter and exit.
UV- and Corrosion-Resistant White Finish
The white powder-coat finish reflects heat, resists UV degradation, and maintains its appearance under prolonged sun exposure. It is applied over the galvanized steel substrate for a two-stage corrosion resistance system.
15-Year Frame Warranty / 12-Year Panel Warranty
The Aurora is backed by a 15-year structural frame warranty and a 12-year roof panel warranty, reflecting the manufacturer’s confidence in the long-term performance of the materials and construction.

Maintenance Schedule
- Monthly: Rinse roof panels with water to remove accumulated dirt, dust, and debris.
- Seasonally: Inspect all anchor points, base connections, and structural hardware for tightness and corrosion.
- Annually: Tighten all fasteners to specification and assess the condition of the powder-coat finish. Touch up any areas showing surface wear to maintain corrosion protection.
Important Information
- Installation: Professional installation is strongly recommended. The wind rating of 130 MPH is only valid when the structure is anchored according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Improper anchoring voids the wind load rating and may affect warranty coverage.
- Permits: Permanent metal structures of this size may require a building permit 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: This cover requires a stable, level concrete or compacted gravel base for proper anchoring. Installation on unprepared ground may affect structural performance and warranty validity.
- Snow load: While the arched roof design promotes natural snow shedding, consult the installation documentation for regional snow load specifications applicable to your area.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size RV will fit under the Aurora?
The Aurora provides 28 ft of covered length, 16 ft of interior width, and 14 ft of height clearance. This accommodates most Class A motorhomes, large Class C motorhomes, fifth-wheel trailers, and travel trailers within these dimensions. Measure your RV’s height including roof-mounted accessories (AC units, antennas) before ordering.
What is the wind speed rating and does it require special anchoring?
The Aurora is rated to 130 MPH wind loads when anchored per the manufacturer’s specifications. Proper anchoring into a concrete or adequately prepared base is required to achieve this rating. The installation documentation details the anchoring requirements for your specific ground conditions.
Does the arched roof handle snow accumulation?
The precision-curved arched roof design promotes natural runoff of rain and snow, reducing the likelihood of accumulation compared to flat-panel designs. For regional snow load specifications and maximum rated snow loads, refer to the installation documentation included with the unit.
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 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 may affect warranty coverage. The installation documentation specifies anchoring hardware and base requirements.
What are the warranty terms?
The Aurora carries a 15-year structural frame warranty and a 12-year roof panel warranty. 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 Aurora 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 anchoring is critical to achieving the rated wind load performance and maintaining warranty coverage. Improper installation may void the wind rating and structural warranty.
