Tarp or cover for winter storage

Any input would help. Just bought a new to me Layton TT and want to take care of it.

If you truly want to care for this new rig the only really effective answer is to store it inside some sort of structure, even a carport style with no side walls is still better than covering the unit with a tarp or even a purpose designed breathable cover. Over the years I've done both inside storage & breathable covers and the only downside to inside storage is the cost, which admittedly can be prohibitive in some locations. Unfortunately most don't give much thought to storage before the purchase and as a result quickly realize their only practical solutions are to 1) leave it entirely uncovered and hope for the best (arguably what most RV owners do 2) covered with a tarp 3) covered with a purpose designed breathable cover. The only issue I've had with a properly installed breathable cover is a bit of dulling of the finish on the front wall of the trailer but it's always buffed up in the spring with an application of wax. I've personally never used a non-breathable tarp 'though I do see others who do use one to protect just the roof itself from heavy snow load and potential water damage.
