Buying our first RV cover

We're a young family in Idaho and purchased our first new travel trailer this year. We've enjoyed it and, of course, want to protect our investment. We wrapped up what will likely be our last trip of the season this weekend and are now beginning to think about winter storage.

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. This is a new arena for me and I'm admittedly low on knowledge to buy with much confidence.

Any counsel would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Put a cover on our fiver once. First one ripped to shreds within a month. Got it replaced and promptly sold the replacement on craigslist. Unless you go for a really top end one they simply will not stand up to the elements. Add the hassles of putting it on and taking it off, its simply not worth it to me. BTW our RVs have always been next to the house.
