i had the same question about a year ago and I decided on no cover at all. One logical answer I got was, how do you see them at dealers? No covers, out in the open. I figure if I'm camping, and it rains or snows or whatever, what difference is it if I'm using the TT or not?
One thing I do for long term storage is wheel covers and an AC cover, to keep the sun off and help keep debris/leaves/pine needles out of the AC. I also don't keep it plugged in, just check the batter every couple weeks and charge up if necessary. I pull the fuse on the battery so there is no radio or smoke alarms etc slowly draining the battery.
The graphics on my seasonal TT that stays year around in the weather still look good. Northern MN the sun isn't near as intense and hail is seldom a issue.
A good wash and wax a couple times a year goes a long way as well to prevent oxidation and fading.
