Wasted rv covers
Just at the storage yard today. We've had a day or so of fairly strong winds. Three RV's covers were shredded. And laying on the ground in two pieces. One you could tell was brand new. See this eve...

Used properly a good cover is worth its weight in gold. Just look at all the faded rv's with peeling or missing decals. Our 2003 has been covered 95% of the time when not in use and it still looks almost new. People not using covers of some sort are in denial. JMHO.
What kind of cover do you have and how long does it last? I had an ADCO sunbrella cover that worked well for the first year, but by year two the sun had beat the fabric up so much that it was about as strong as notebook paper. You could tear it with very little force. I'm on the fence as to whether I should replace it.
I can usually get 2-3 years out of a cover. I don't use blue tarps. I usually can get an ADCO or Classic cover on the internet for $90-150 which in my opinion is cheap protection from sun damage. I'd rather have the UV damage done to my cover then to the rubber roof and other parts like the plastic AC housing. You can find a cheap replacement.
