Storing Truck Camper Outside

Hi Folks: Good discussion. I am looking forward to Johnny G1 getting back to us with pictures of how he is storing his unit using aluminum saw horses and tarp. If the angle of the slope is steep enough it would shed snow without major build-up. I have a full portable garage/shelter (Shelterlogic) and I agree that you must take precautions from collapse by keep snowfalls from accumulating on it, keep the cover taunt at all times and replace the cover if it starts to let snow and ice cling to the surface (looses slippery surface from UV light degradation) . I understand from the suppliers of these units that round domed roofs shed the snow quicker or more readily. My portable garage is not domed so I do not know this from experience (can anyone confirm). My previous cover lasted 5 years before I replaced it prior to failing. I believe in may parts of our country the snow and ice can build up heavy enough on some camper to damage the roof (especially some pop-up campers like palomino). I always supported mine from the inside with a 2x4 and cross member to the floor and below to provide additional support to the roof and had it covered with 10ml plastic sheet just over the roof and down the walls 1 foot so no water would ever get in. I am looking for other options for my new Lance 1181 due to its size. cheers christl
