Travel Trailer Cover? Good/Bad Idea?
Thinking about getting one of those special covers designed for travel trailer to keep the sun and rain off of my trailer. Does anyone have one? It looks like they range in price anywhere from $150 ...

We have been in the lot where we store our RV for 15 years and during that time I have seen about 5 out of the 150 RVs stored with covers on.
This is typically what happens... I will notice a new RV in the lot and it has a cover. The RV is covered off and on for about 2 years and then no more cover. Either the cover is destroyed (it can get windy) or the owner gets tired of covering the RV.
We have stored our RV for over 21 years without a cover. When it's washed and waxed it looks brand new. I wash it for each trip and have it waxed every two years.
Two years ago I had to have the roof membrane coated with the two step sealant. It looks as good as new.
The moral---- no need for a cover.
