If you cover your camper with a tarp and store it for the winter on Long Island, I think you will be disappointed with the results in the Spring. Even with a new tarp, the wind, falling leaves and snow are likely to cause a few leaks. It only takes some pinhole leaks to trap water between the roof and the tarp. Even without the leaks you can count on condensation and dampness under the tarp. Once Spring comes you will find mold and mildew that is hard to remove.
Winter storage or seasonal use, you need a leak proof roof that will handle the weather. That means getting on the roof, inspecting every square inch and replacing sealants when needed. If you don't want to do that yourself, you need to pay someone to do it for you. That will mean a trip to New Hampshire to have Bill Penney handle the maintenance.
