Thank goodness for my RV cover

I have seen countless threads on should i cover or not cover my rv well I say cover here's why. In central mass on the ground we have well over 3ft of snow more like 4ft but i stay conservative. Most TT are 3ft off the ground, well the snow is above that which would probably mean snow would seep into the door or any small opening like storage areas, vents etc. Now if it's properly covered no problems and after removing snow from my TT roof it's midway up the door. Let me tell you waist deep snow, roof rake, and 10 degrees with wind is not fun even properly geared up. When it finally rains the snow will be like sponge and I hope it doesnot sink into the mud. I do have 8ft 2by10's under the wheels and landing gear crossing fingers.
  • I also would be glad I covered it if I were you. Heart felt sympathy for all of you.

  • sorry you are having issues with the snow but I must confess, and don't any of you people get any ideas of moving west, but we have had the best winter this year. from the looks of it God sent all the bad weather east. with the weather we have here in my neck of the woods we just just consider snow to be a minor inconvenience. yes we do have rain in Oregon but that's OK, we don't have to shovel rain.
  • I used to live for 20 years in Harvard, MA until 2002. I do not miss those winters. Now live on Lake Marion in SC. It is only in the 30's today so it is even cool down here.

    Still have a sons living in Fitchburg and N. Andover
  • I should have taken a picture,camera would have froze probably... one thing no mice getting in...
  • 4ft of snow? Ice damming? What sort of hellish place to ya'll live? I thought this site was for regular RV'ers not arctic explorers.
  • I can see where ice damming could be a real issue.
    Good luck, hope you get to spring without any headaches.
