Yes, our camper (indeed, the entire rig) gets stored in a climate-controlled facility every winter (except for one). The camper typically goes "inside" mid October to Nov 3rd (we usually have 1 to ~3 snow storms during this period) when the temps fall below appx 20F during daytime. The camper comes out roughly April 10th to May 4th (mostly mid April). So, the storage usually averages 5.5 months of the year. The camper sees appx 1~3 snowfalls and an ice storm maybe once every ~3 years in our driveway during spring.
The big unknown with TPO roofing membrane is: ...its ability to withstand very searing temperatures for its life expectancy (ie. heating days above 100 deg F). Life expectancy can be anywhere from 15 to 35 years for TPO membrane when installed to manufacturer's specification. So, I know that we have many Outfitter owners on this Forum, who store their TPO-roofed units out in the searing heat of the Southwest. I've never heard of any issues with the membrane. Any long-time TPO roof owners care to chime in?
