Blue Tarp

I have heard good and bad about tarps. The biggest complaint I have heard is they can trap moisture.

There are some that consider any cover a waste of time.

I use a cover mainly because it came with the TT. It seems to work well.

I used a Blue Tarp on my Desert Fox. It worked, but the wind made it flap and kept me awake at night since my bedroom was at the end of the house where the rig was parked.

Dont cover and I leave the roof vent open 24/7/365. (i have a maxair vent cover)

For previous posts on this subject search this Forum for `rv cover' where you will find the usual answers; including mine.
Specifically, I would never use a blue cover which is too rough for the RV top and sides; particularly the corners and edges.

I used a silver tarp to cover the trailer while doing repairs and it was torn up pretty quickly. I wouldn't use one long term (for the winter) because they don't breathe. I'd rather leave it uncovered than covered with a tarp.

I would just leave it until you get your carport. I would try to get it built before hail season. Before I would spend money on a tarp or cover I would just rent covered storage.

I bought my carport from Tri-state carports, they built it in a day.

Fehh! I use my TT in the winter!

Thanks guys,, some well taken advice. Yes the carport will be enclosed on 3 sides

If your car port will keep the sun, rain and sleet totally off the sides as well as the top, then I would skip buying a TT cover which run about $200-250 for a decent one. Definitely DO NOT put a tarp over it which as many have said will chafe and wear off your paint or gelcoat! However, if your new car port will allow sun and the elements to hit the side front or back of your TT, then I would invest in a good TT cover to totally get you through this winter and then use it under your carport to prevent sun and rain from fading your finish and decals in the 6 months you will probably not be using it each year. You can tell who stores inside or uses a cover when you see TT's that are 4 years old or older that look brand new. Decals are the first sign of aging and are very expensive to replace..A good cover will prevent that fading and oxidation of the gelcoat..
