Covers are a hassle and you aren't living in a place where the Sun is unrelenting like Phoenix, or similar. The snow isn't going to hurt your trailer anymore than it hurts your house.
An unrealistic comparison as materials and methods used on a stick house are entirely different than a trailer with a rubber roof membrane. Installing a cover will keep the trailer clean but that's actually just a side benefit ... the real advantage is that a breathable cover will protect all those roof and wall edge seals from the relentless cycle of snow melting to water which freezes again at night and turns to ice, then repeats the cycle endlessly over the winter. Tough on seals, tough on vinyl awnings where snow collects in the trough where the awning attaches to the rail. If one can't store indoors then installing a cover avoids these issues entirely and contributes to the longevity of the trailer. :B
