Covers? I used Adco for years. Only problem was the rain gutters poking holes in the corners. I still have the cover for my 31 foot Springdale. Too small for my 35 footer I have now. Quit using the covers a few years ago because we driveway - winter camp too much. Always a pain to move the cover around to get in and out the door, and tie and retie it so the wind won't flop it around. And we started taking winter trips. Nothing worse than having snow on the roof and trying to remove the cover.
It's a personal choice. I see no difference with a cover than without a cover. The only REAL difference I've seen is, it take a lot more work to use a cover than to NOT use one! :)
