Because I deal with New England Winters I will use the Rv covers. I figure if the cover helps deflect moisture it may have a benefit, also noticed the covers help keep the exterior cleaner but that's just my 2 cents. Cover is on Nov to April after that cover is off and in storage, not sure if I would want a cover on in the sumertime humidity.

I live on top of a hill with a open field across from me along with my open property. I deal with lots of wind related problems with the covers, usually ripping on the Rv corners where the rain gutters are. I'm on my 3rd cover with my present Jayco, Camping World cover lasted 2 winters, now I'm back to Adco

Absolutely keeps them cleaner.
And that's the funny thing about RVs and the funny thing about RVers.
One conversation is about how hard it is to get those place streaks of the siding and how important it is that all caulking and roof penetrations are well sealed and inspected regularly.
And the next conversation is someone saying how covers are a waste of time and money.....

To each their own I'll say. But I do know my shiny white camper is still spotless after a month or so in schitty weather. My (uncovered) snowmachine trailer got washed a couple months ago and is starting to turn green on top again!
Even the camper, during the summer months, the gutters needed washed out a couple times to keep from overflowing. As of right now, the leaves and maple seeds would have made a mess of the clean roof and gutters and then streaks everywhere down the sides from water running over the gutters.

I've got 2 trailers to cover this month, 1st is my present Jayco that I had hoped to sell this late fall but seems I will have to wait to spring.

2nd is our new to us 2017 Jayco 24 RBS that we just purchased, along with some research we can tell the previous owner had NEVER used it. Trailer has some mild black streaks on the sides that I can not remove. I am almost certain trailer was never covered. Certainly was not a deal breaker for us considering the overall condition of the trailer :C
