How to: RV cover for winter storage. Make one or buy?

I know it's not winter yet, but I live in Anchorage, AK, and winters are brutal, lots of snow and it will be winter soon for us. I have a 2009 Itasca View class C and this will be the first winter...

One thing to keep in mind is the wind. We had our 5th wheel under renovation and tarped all winter and where the wind caught the tarp it rubbed the paint off the trailer. Also any spot where the rope touched it did the same thing.


Yeah, I know how these tarps rub and fade all over everything. I think people get them too tight and then with the wind slidding the tarp around, they rub through, and rub color everywhere.
