What is the best option in protecting the outside finish and vinyl in the Florida sun. My old unit over 8 years really faded and the sun was hard on the rubber roof. I have heard good and bad about covers but was looking for solutions. Just purchased a new Denali 262RLX and looking for the best protection from the Florida sun.

Buy a gallon of 303 Aerospace Protectant and a spray bottle and use it on painted surfaces, vinyl graphics, rubber, vinyl, plastics, canvas, etc. Safe and contains no damaging petroleum products or silicone.

It's like putting a sunscreen shield SPF 40 on the RV.

x2. The best price I found was from Austin Kayak. But, it's been about a year, maybe you can find a better price.

Different rules depending on the surface you're applying to but in all cases you have to wipe completely dry. No buffing required but the company recommends reapplication every 3-5 weeks.

303 does not build up because it has no petroleum products, which can build up as a "paraffin" waxy substance on the paint or grafics.

303 will enter vinyl, as well as canvas, rubber and plastics..but won't harm them and adds a layer of UV protection.
