Our 5th wheel is 12 years old. It spent 2 years in the hot Florida sun, 5 years in the northern Michigan cold & snow, and another 5 years in lower Michigan (also with cold, snow, & rain). All 12 years without a cover. I wash the camper regularly, wax the nose & tail because they have the gel coat, and also clean the roof twice a season. My 5th wheel looks nearly as good as it was new. I personally think that RV covers make a lot of money for the manufacturers of RV covers. They don't hold up to the weather much and seem like a waste of money. You'd be better off finding an enclosed storage facility for your RV as your costs would be similar over a 5-6 year period. And be sure to hope & pray your covered RV doesn't have to experience a hail storm because it will be shredded.
