Cover, or not to cover..that is the question
I have used RV covers in the past; they can be hard to put on (windy days), some have been torn by winds, but I want to protect my new investment. The dealer wants to sell me a product they apply ...

I had a very nice cover for our 1999 alfa ideal but didn't like what it did the the fiberglass walls. I gave to an alpenlite owner but he did not take it off until June so now all of the screws were rust and the side walls were damaged from the wind.

Yo Larry! How's the weather there?
Anyway...covers have changed since 99...perhaps not the wind so much! :) This one seems to stay pretty stable in the wind. I keep finding small leaks here and there in the Alpenlite. The cover will bide me some time until next spring! I am in the process of replacing all the screws with new anyway, pulling all the metal trim and adding new butyl and sealant. I can fix a dulled wall finish but I really don't want the water intrusion. We shall see!
Best Wishes!
