Installing Cover on Wet Trailer

It's been raining here every day for the past 3 weeks and I'm beginning to think I live in Seattle. I winterized my rig and parked it for the season weeks ago, but I have been reluctant to cover it while it's wet and raining. My wife isn't keen on the idea of walking on a slick wet roof, either.

The forecast calls for daily rain over the next two weeks, and at any time that precipitation may turn into snow. So my questions is, should I cover my trailer with it being wet from rain, try and hold out for a dry day, or just forego a cover altogether?

I have a three year old ADCO cover (unknown model) and this is my second season with it.

If it's an ADCO then it's a breathable cover so any moisture will over time evaporate through the cover. What isn't breathable is your awning which is most likely vinyl and if it's wet is going to stay wet through the entire winter. I'd deploy the awning and wait for a long enough break in the weather so it can dry, then roll it back up, and install the cover. Your wife is right though - that roof will be slick.
