Shall I cover my travel trailer during winter time?
Cover or no cover?
Forum Discussion
We had a very sheltered spot for our camper at our previous home, and we covered in the winter. The big advantage: we could leave the vents (which have MaxxAir vent covers) open in the winter, and also left one of the windows cracked open, which minimized condensation and mildew during the months the camper wasn't used.
If you park your camper in a windy spot, however, you may want to consider not using a cover. Not our experience (due to said sheltered spot) but others have mentioned damage to the camper from the cover flapping in the wind and rubbing off the finish. Of course, if you live where you get lots and lots of snow, you would need to make sure to clean off the camper's roof regularly - especially without a cover.
