On our first unit we covered it with an ADCO cover for the first few years. However, I found that it did more damage than good. No matter how tight we secured the cover, on a very windy day it would bellow and move slightly. This causes the cover to rub against the edge of the roof and other things. In the spring we found that there were very small "wear/rub" marks on the edge of the rubber roof which I then had to reinforce with small strips of eternabond to ensure it did not rub through the following year. Other thing was the cover only lasted about 4yrs. I never replaced it and now just leave it uncovered except for the AC. After a snowfall I just clear the edges of roof so that there is no ice dam build up from the thawing and freezing. On our new rig there are more fragile parts on the roof like HD antennas which would not take to kindly to the weight of a cover on top of it.
