To Cover for the Winter or Not?

This is our first year owning a 22' ultralight TT and I live in New England. Should I cover the TT or just leave it exposed? I would anticipate a full range of New England winter weather - snow, an occasional Blizzard, freezing rain, etc.

Simple answer - if you can store indoors then that's the best solution but if you can't the next best is to cover with a breathable cover.

None of the dozens of RVs and TTs at the dealer get covered, but then again they have trained professionals on payroll who can get everything up snuff if anything goes wrong.

That has nothing to do with it. What dealer is his right mind would invest tens of thousands in covers, then pay someone to install each cover in the fall, then pay them again to remove those covers in the spring, when the whole purpose of having those trailers on the lot is to sell each one as quickly as possible? The answer should be obvious. :R

That is my point. A dealer will look at the cost vs risk of covering their inventory. In this case, they roll the dice. If there is weather damage they already have people on payroll who can fix the damage and get the stock looking like new again. The cost vs risk calculation is not the same for most owners.

I fail to see what the big deal is about saying dealers don't cover their inventory because they already pay people who can fix it if they have a problem? I would also like to know how many RVs you think get sold in the winter in New England? :R
