I have used an Adco cover... it's "ok" what I don't like about mine is that its is not water proof.. its water resistant, so if it gets wet and something touches it... oh like THE ROOF of the RV. It's like a tent... it let's water thru... I now use a used Billboard Tarp that you can buy online, completely waterproof and super tough. I'm still thinking about building a RV carport... just have to check local building codes, etc...
If it was the "breathable" kind of cover, it's not supposed to be "waterproof"... The point of a breathable cover is to let the RV breath underneath it so it does not turn into a hunk of mold.. ;)
I've used ADCO covers since around 2005. I covered my 2003 Prowler with one and it lasted about 10 years being parked under trees all winter. The thing was green with moss on the roof and black streaks on the sides and I finally replaced it in 2015.. All the while, it would get wet, but it kept all the tree **** off of it and it would dry in a matter of hours after a total downpour.
I traded that old Prowler to the dealer I got my new TT from in July of this year and they gave me $6500 for it.. I paid $14,000 out the door with it in 2003. They sold it for $7000 about a week later..
Anyway, I have an ADCO cover on my new 2019 TT and it's still parked under the same trees as the Prowler. It's already got a load of tree **** on it and doing it's job!
It's the Designer Series Aqua Shed model.
Works for me.
Good luck!
