Truck camper cover for 6 months

I store my Northstar truck camper under a heavy white tarp that I bought on-line from Home Depot.i only tie the front and rear to assure airflow. No mold,mildew or leaks. I do inspect every inch in the spring. I is not particularly easy to put on, but I have developed a system. I throw two 1/2" ropes front to back over the camper. I attach the tarp and ,pulling from the rear, get the tarp on as far as I can. I have my wife hold the two ropes,one in each hand and have her pulll them as I direct her. Meanwhile, I am on a ladder at about the mid point of the side of the camper with a 12' pole. As she slowly pulls the tarp, I lift it to clear any obstacles. Takes about ten minutes with careful preparation.

Now,if you want to talk difficult, let me tell you about tarping a 30' sailboat,12' high at the mast laying on the cabin top,by myself in thirty mph winds with gusts to 50 mph. After several disastrous attempts, I finally went upwind,tied down the tarp, and threw a corner of the tarp as high as I could during a gust. It draped itself full-length over the boat perfectly. Then I dashed to the lee side and tied it down. I was feeling really good about my brilliance. I stepped back to admire my achievement and take in the applause from the adoring crowd, and split my head open on another boats bow-mounted anchor.

There's a lesson in that, to wit: Tossed tarps can cause concussions.
