Winter Storage of a Travel Trailer?????
Hi All, I hope all is well. My wife and I purchased our first camper about 2 weeks ago (we are actually camping 3 out of the next 4 weekends and I can't wait). We live in Ohio were we tend to get love...

I've never covered and I am pretty positive I get worse winters than you outside of Rochester, NY.
We have major RV dealers all around here and none of them cover their stock in the winter either.
I am not saying no to covering, I just don't think it is a must by any means.
X2. We've never covered. Actually that's not true, we had a bad experience with a cover on a pop-up. Never again. A cover will probably extend the life of the color and decals. Things do fade. But seals and caulking still dry out and have to be maintained.
We cover our AC and our tires. That's all. Our last two trailers we had for 10 years and aside from faded decals they were in great condition. Our current one is 6 years old already.
Regarding mice, we park our trailer next to our attached garage, on a gravel pad about 4 feet from the garage. We get mice in the garage, especially in winter. In 26 years we've never had mice in the trailers. There is no brush or grass or any place for the mice to hide around our trailer. Mice want to avoid predators. Putting a trailer in a barn is an invitation for mice to move in.
