It's pretty much unanimous as it pertains to having a solid structure over your RV than a flimsy pull over cover. Yes we did have a couple of covers over the years, and they can be put on by a single person with due diligence. We intended to put it on each and every time we came back home, then it was every other time, you can see where this is leading. It got to just when it was winterized we would put it on, after a few years the winds we have in our neck of the woods left cover it tatters. It's your money, your call, your house, IMO a sturdy permanently mounted RV port is your best bet and will add value to your home.
