Unless you have a very specific reason for covering, you're probably better off leaving it uncovered. Yes, you do have to wrangle the cover on the roof. When you cover, you'll have to uncover eventually! If you use your camper often, putting on and taking off will get tiring real fast. As you get older, face it, it's just plain dangerous to be crawling around on the roof an RV.
The biggest draw back for a cover is the ability of the person to get it on. Second, if they rub, they wear the paint off the RV.
On the other hand, if you have to park your camper under trees and want to spare the roof from tree sap, bird mess, or anything else, then it's worth it.
To cover, just for the sake of covering, is not needed. Campers are made to be outside.
I've done both, cover and not cover. And I'm at the age in life, I don't cover any more.
