storage

Our 2006 30ft a class is stored in a nice barn. very dry.
Owner is selling the business.
So we will end up storing it on our slightly sloping driveway with a cover on it.
Do modern covers really breath?
Used to be they would cause mold.
what do i need to know.
thanks all
  • Yes, they breathe. I like my Goldline cover from NationalRVCovers. Expensive however.
  • I used one for the last 3 winters with no problems, left the bathroom vent open 1/4 inch. Doors on trailers don't seal all that well so there was always some air movement. I leave all drawers and cabinets open and any under bed or seat storage is also open.
  • what happens to the rubbery roof antenna?

    Fisherman- what brand do you use?

    thanks guys your great help is very much appreciated
  • Campers covered outdoors in 2 of the wetter environments. South central AK and coastal PNW. No issues with moisture retention.
    I could see a potential issue maybe in somewhere like the SE part of the country where a very wet environment is combined with warm temperatures. Unlike my experiences where wet generally also = cool or cold weather.

    I had the Gold Shield one, the only thing I added was a very light box made of 1x6 cedar, bulged top, to cover the antenna and couple of old cushions between the antenna and bathroom vent. Bone dry up there.
