Our RV cover protects nicely against the elements, rodents, raccoons, thieves, and even freezing temps.....our under-the-house garage HERE.
But getting serious now, have you considered a nearby pole barn or warehouse that is being used for boat and RV storage? Since much manufacturing left the country, and retail space always becoming available, some of those underutilized buildings are available for RV storage either permanently or temporarily, some seasonally. A local farmer with a huge pole barn might charge you an affordable rate. Spend 15 minutes on the internet and see if anything in your area is found. You might be surprised how affordable indoor storage might be. It is for only a 4 month period. Some storage is heated, some with electric available for a battery tender. I personally would go cheap and find a non-heated place, park the rig, place rodent traps inside and under the hood, take the batteries home and not worry about running the generator and main engine during those 4 months.
Go on Craigslist right now and search for "RV Storage" and see what comes up. I quickly found some around me like this one HERE, and HERE TOO. Some are repeats, most are outdoors but some are indoors. Consider it as a rider on your insurance policy and it won't sting so much.
I feel that indoor winter storage is especially for those who have a pile of money tied up in their motor home.
