We covered our last TT after a winter under fir trees turned everything green on the TT. The next 4 years turned the outside of the cover green but kept the TT clean and pristine under it. It was a middle of the road Adco cover. After 4 winters I felt it still had at least another 2 winters to go. I never had any scratching or wear because of rubbing but I also made sure it was down as tight as I could get it. We did get a couple of hellacious wind storms but I never had any damage.
The only downside I found was that I didn't use the cover year round because of the difficulty I had putting it on and taking it off. This is probably due more to my physical abilities than any flaws in the cover design. It did require someone to get up on the roof and pull the cover over the edges. I usually only covered it after I winterized it. My cover had the zippers at the doors so that allowed access to the TT to check for unwanted trespassers of the 4 legged variety during winter storage.
I firmly believe that keeping my TT covered and well maintained were the reasons why I got top dollar when I sold it. I am currently looking for a cover for our new (to us) RV for the upcoming winter.
