Cover for camper while in storage? Yes/no?

I have access to uncovered storage. It seems to me campers sitting out in the elements degrade much quicker than those that do not. What are everyones opinions on a cover for the camper?
  • Those that insist on not using covers are the same ones asking about finding replacements for their faded decals or deciding to repaint. After 21 years of camping, all of our original decals on our 2003 still look great. And it isn’t from sitting out in the full Central California sun. Daily direct sunlight is terrible for your rv when it’s not being used. Get a cover

    Depends how much it will be in storage and how many times a year you’re good with installing and removing it.
    But presuming you understand that it is only beneficial when it’s covered.

    Lol
    How could something that costs a couple hundred bucks and keeps UV and water off of a camper be a waste of money?
  • I park mine at home, but I did install a pole barn over it to protect it. I highly recommend a solid cover.
