Storing pop up camper for the winter
What is the best way to cover my pop up camper that will be stored outside through winter in MI?

Rooner,
In this area (we live near Metro Airport and I worked in Jackson), you have two big issues.
1 - Moisture
2 - Vermin
In case one (1). You don't say what your PU is. If it has a solid fiberglass or plastic cover, leave it alone. It will be just fine. It was built to be out in the rain. Unless you put an A/C on the roof. Then you need a cover as the water will get to the gasket.
But, if you are parking it in your yard over soil, Get either a large sheet of heavy (at least 6mil) plastic or a cheap tarp to park it over. Moisture in the ground will be drawn up by the changes in temperature. (BTDT)
For case two (2) Good Luck. Cover all opening and leave nothing that even looks like it might ever be food in the PU.
If you can find affordable inside storage do that. Look at the fairgrounds (I don't know if they still do) and warehouses.
