Cover vs Starting Class C

We are upgrading from a travel trailer to a Class C. In our area, winter temps stay below freezing and we get snow. We used to winterize the travel trailer and put a cover on it until spring. With the Class C, I hear that you should start the engine and drive it at least once to twice per month. We will winterize it, of course, but I was wondering what to do about the cover. It's a big production to get the cover on an off. Do you just put a roof cover on it, instead of a full cover, so it's easier to remove? I'm sure a foot of snow on the roof is a BAD idea, so I'm wondering what other Class C folks do in the cold/snow season. Any tips? Thanks!

mines in a garage ,but you got the right idea ,I drive mine about one time per month IF the roads are dry or I wait,, about a 15mile round trip. half cover sounds good a metal shell of a bldg sounds better. also run the gen set, put a electric heater in for a load on the gen. keeps things lubed, tires rotated.oh, and a bottle of sea foam in the fuel.
