I have used a HTT as a seasonal camper. You have to look at your campground, the thing that most people mentioned to me was security. If you feel that your campground is safe and you are familiar with your neighbours then security is not an issue. As far as worrying about leaving the bunk ends out and damage to the canvas. Drive by any rv dealership and you will see that TT and HTT's both are set up and open for the season. Really they all use sunbrella on the bunk ends now anyways. I left mine out for the season, ultimately my HTT was written off but it had nothing to do with the bunk ends(leaking water line). Clean your ends from time to time. Good luck with your season, enjoy the ease of seasonal camping.
