Absolutely keeps them cleaner.
And that's the funny thing about RVs and the funny thing about RVers.
One conversation is about how hard it is to get those place streaks of the siding and how important it is that all caulking and roof penetrations are well sealed and inspected regularly.
And the next conversation is someone saying how covers are a waste of time and money.....
To each their own I'll say. But I do know my shiny white camper is still spotless after a month or so in schitty weather. My (uncovered) snowmachine trailer got washed a couple months ago and is starting to turn green on top again!
Even the camper, during the summer months, the gutters needed washed out a couple times to keep from overflowing. As of right now, the leaves and maple seeds would have made a mess of the clean roof and gutters and then streaks everywhere down the sides from water running over the gutters.

That makes more sense. Just a cap for the roof.

It's supposed to be one time use, but it's holding up well to being folded and rolled, then unfolded semi annually. The plastic is pretty heavy duty too. I had the guy install vents so I could use the trailer while the cover was on. And I'll share that I sat a peaked structure on the roof before the cover was initially installed so that snow and rain run off.
Good idea!
I always thought that they were one and done and you had to un zip them with a utility knife! Must have a couple zippers or something?

I'd love to see pictures of this if you have them.
I've seen drunks at camp pranking our friends and shrink-wrapping the trailer and/or off-road cars of the first ones to poop out and go to bed, but I didn't know that shrink-wrapping the RV was a legitimate thing. I'd love to see it.
