I wouldn’t put a trap over my rig if it had a cover on it.
All the tarp does is help to do is hold in the moisture, and possibly create mold. The covers are meant to breath so that you don’t get any moisture. I have never had an issue removing the snow or ice with a snow rake in the winter. The ice will 99% of the time fall off on its own in a few weeks with temperature fluctuations, not a real issue in my part of the world up here in British Columbia.
I also leave a roof vent open a crack so the camper or in the past 5th wheel can breath as well. All my roof vents have a MaxAir cover, so opening one a crack isn’t an issue. Other locations in the world this may not be a good idea depending on humidity and moisture in the air, but it’s fine in my back yard.
