If you can store it under a covered shelter that is #1! The sun quickly dries out the roof, paint, decals etc. If you must leave it in direct sun then perhaps a good UV blocking cover can be used. Keep trailer waxed and use a good protector on roof and slide seals.
If you have a cover on it to protect from dust then its a good idea to leave roof vents slightly open to help with heat expansion on the interior.
We stored our last trailer under a covered roof so it was always shaded. After 9 years exterior still looked like new. RV's left out in the sun nearby are all faded, decals peeling etc.
