Our trailer is parked outside of our home. Winters here produce some snow, which can stick for several weeks at a time. We have very sunny and hot summers, though I'm not sure I'll use a cover once the camping season begins. (It'll depend how easy it is to install, I suppose.)
All that said, I'd like to buy an adequate cover without going overboard.
Some do, but installing a cover after every camping trip is WAY more work than I'd ever consider. :( Back when we owned popups I stored them in my heated workshop and as such they always looked good as new but when we moved into the world of full height trailers that was no longer possible. The first winter I rented indoor storage but it was so costly the next winter I bought an ADCO AquaShed cover and even though it wasn't rated as suitable for heavy snow as was the more expensive ADCO Tyvek it worked just fine. I've used ADCO covers ever since, no issues at all, no tearing as others sometimes report, and have had no complaints other than it's a PITA to install and the same to remove, meaning I'd only do it once in late fall and again in early spring but no way I'd do it during the camping season. Last winter I was offered the opportunity by a friend of a friend to store indoors but this winter I may have to store outdoors again and if so would cover it once again with an ADCO.
