Hello, I have a question about rv covers as to how good they protect roofs? I looking to get a another trailer either new or used, I haven't been able to find a covered lot space and on waiting list at several sites. I know it would be a pain maybe to put on take off, with that said to they protect roofs from the elements, sun, hail, water etc..anyone have actual knowledge they could pass on? Thanks

TT covers are a pain but I like the protection covers give. Current favorite is the Goldline cover sold by nationalrvcovers.com.

Agree, not handy for frequent off and on changes but they work. I cleaned the grungy roof on a 4 year old trailer we bought last year. It looks good after being covered for the last 8 months and rain most of the time.

I have used rv covers for the past 17 yrs. Mostly adco brand which I have found to stand up a little better to weather in general. Cover goes on in late OCT and off in early april. I think it helps, makes a barrier between snow & ice and helps keep the trailer cleaner. IMOMike

we have a community RV lot. It's real easy to know which trailers have had covers on them when not in use for an extended period of time. Decals aren't all wrinkled, trim isn't yellow, sides are still reasonably glossy, not many black streaks....yes, they are kind of a pain to install and store, but do help keep the trailer looking good. And in the summer it does help keep the interior cooler

Your worst enemy is going to be chafe. Add an extra layer on corners by taping folded terry towel over the corners to protect from the rubbing.
