RV Cover

Hello, looking for recommendations for winter RV outdoor cover. We live in Michigan and wondering if there are special things to consider?

Thank you

Mk1putt - I had a short Class A and bought an ADCO tyvek cover. Never really thought through the problem of getting it on and off. You have to be a little acrobatic. I climbed up the back ladder dragging this cover that weighed about 50 lbs. Walked to the front and then tried to find the front of this mass of material and carefully drape it over the front of the RV without falling off. Then gradually worked my way back to the rear. Had to avoid stepping on the crank up antenna, the air vents, the tank vents, the air conditioner, the bubble top over the shower, etc. Now had to find the rear ladder while under the cover as you can't see the ladder if you are above the cover. I brought the sides down and pulled them under the RV and attached them to the frame with strong "bungee cords". Seemed to protect very well all winter. Then came spring and time to remove the cover. Had to climb the ladder while under the cover to the top of the RV. Then try to not fall off the side while pulling up the sides and tossing the cover forward until the entire cover could be tossed on the ground. The second year, found some indoor storage a little ways away from home and that is where the RV got parked for the winter. Sold that Class A and made a present to the new owner of the cover. Bought a Class C and it sleeps indoors for the winter. Also much easier to visit the RV, start and exercise the generator, plug in the electric heater, pop some pop corn, and watch a little TV
