Storage Cover?

Alaska tent And Tarp will build a tarp to your exact specifications for $$$.

Don't think I've ever seen an rv covered in these parts, still I'm considering it but I do the odd trip in the winter so may be a pain to remove and reinstall each time

Anyone wants a soft cover, I got one for free, Hate it. The problem for me is it's a pain to get on and off and only works OK. I use my camper and boat at least once a month year around, never winterize either one. I see something more permanent in my very near future, cause my rigs aint sittin out in the weather!

The discussion on RV covers can get very heated. Many people don't get much more than a year or two out of a very expensive cover before it wears through on the corners and starts to tear. When that happens, it's only a matter of time before the cover is in tatters.

The problem with tarps is they don't breathe, and some believe that contributes to condensation on the inside of the tarp, which then ends up causing damage to the camper. Also the blue tarps degrade quickly in UV light, and have the same "wear on the corners" problem as RV covers.

I've heard of some individuals going through efforts to pad the corners of their RVs, and/or build frameworks to allow for airflow under a tarp. Seems like a lot of extra work to me but if it works for you...

I purchased this cover for the camper, not so much for the snow but I have large trees overhead and those cedars are messy and will stain the top if I don't keep it covered.

I read reviews and they don't work as well in high winds but I'm going into my third year with this one and it's holding up well except for when I backed into it with the blower and burned a hole in it with the muffler, never did run on me because it was a burn.

Can't say I agree with DJs method, but I bet rv dealers do.
Had a soft breathable cover on the old camper. It did its job, but in AK had a lot of ice buildup from freeze thaw and the ice eventually tore the fabric on the sides (don't try to remove it, why it tore).
Think I'd do the same, but top it with a plastic tarp at least over the roof to let the snow/ice slide off.
Some neighbors here (no snow, all rain) with a soft cover on their rv. Looks like same cover and the thing looks shiny every summer when they take it off. Looks like the way to go.

I've always covered my 13 y/o TT and it still looks new including the graphics.
The longer you can keep the elements off your RV the longer they will last.

Its that time of year for cover questions.
Before asking anymore questions search this Forum for `RV Cover' and read the previous responses including mine many times.

Never covered anything. They're outdoor toys. I spent the first 55 years in N Idaho. Never covered them then either. Just kept a step ladder and push broom handy for the snow. JMHO but unless you buy a very expensive, form fitted, breathable cover then they are more of a detriment.

Had a cover for 2 winters, now have a "cover-it" portable garage. MUCH better.

The problem we have here in the northeast is cold and snow then some warmer weather then cold again. That results in frozen puddles that can become several inches thick on the roof and the ice freezes to the cover. Perhaps your climate is different.
