Cover for trailer

How many of you cover your tt. We just got a cover for our trailer and am wondering if it was a mistake. We got it because I already had some water damage from a leaky corner that could have been possibly prevented from a cover. I'm fixing it with eternabond. The cover seems like it is a big pain to get on and off. Unless there is a trick to it.

Thanks bill

    The cover is a huge pain to put on & off, but for the years we had our camper parked in a shady, protected spot in a snowy climate, we thought it was worth it as well. Where it's parked now, it's not shaded and is fully exposed to wind, and from what we have heard here, we figured a cover would potentially cause more damage than it would prevent. Just something to consider.

    If you do decide to keep & use the cover, definitely make sure to pad the sharper edges & appendages on the camper's roof & around the top edge - things like spouts for water, edges of the awning track, etc. - before you put the cover on. It will save wear & tear on the cover. Some people use pieces of swim noodles; we used a concoction of old socks, rubber bands and duct tape. :)

    Well worth it. Our TT is ten years old and still looks like new.
