TT cover question
My wife and I are about 2 months into owning our TT and loving it. Anyone use or have opinions on RV storage covers. I would love to have a more permanent enclosure from the weather but that ain't...

So I went over to my storage area yesterday with my 8 foot step ladder to check on my - read it - covered - TT after the hurricane. I disconnected one strap so I could open the zippered panel and get inside. I've been using the same ADCO cover since I bought the TT new in 2012. Everything looked good inside, but since there was a lot of tree debris on the roof, I wanted to inspect the rubber for tears.
So I removed the cover in about 20 minutes, and low and behold, no tears, and the roof was as white as it was from washing it after our last trip in August.
Now I'm not saying the cover protected it from getting stabbed by a tree limb but it did protect it from getting dirty. I can also report there were no black streaks - unlike the uncovered units around me.
While off, I inspected the entire TT top to bottom. I can say that my paint is not being worn off by rubbing, holes are not being poked into it from protruding objects like gutter spouts, and it is not being ripped to shreds due to wind - hurricane force at that. Why? Because I read the directions and know how to secure it and protect it from those protruding objects. I periodically check it to ensure the straps do not loosen - they do.
I took another 30 minutes and recovered it, to keep it clean for our upcoming fall trip. The amount of work required to keep it clean may be considered by some as a downside, but not to me.
