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 purchased 3 of them in a period of 8 years to use with our last TT, at an average of $300 per cover. (maybe more) The covers were mainly used during winter and some during hot summer months; all of them after the first use got torn but i kept using them until no more mending was possible.
If you have the time and able to climb on and off the TT - with another person helping and spotting you - the cover will do good protecting your investment. As long as you protect the cover from sharp gutters and other parts of the TT which can damage the material - also make sure to tighten the straps so you have less movement with the wind.
My personal experience, i got tired of dealing with it. We invested on a carport 18'x36'.(having space at home and no restrictions from community associations helps) $2300 for the installed carport and the TT has a cover for the entire year day and night.
hope it helps...
