You could try a pool float -the type used to prop up pool covers for the winter. I have tried various things to prevent puddling. In the end I decided as long as there are no sharp edges poking at the cover it didn’t really matter.
To be honest the “tyvek” type covers lasted me 5-6 years. We’ll see how long the Goldline lasts.

I'll look those up, thanks.
Thinking about it, the roof on the old one has roof/wall seams, new one is an NL with rounded fiberglass. So less likely to be an issue.
To me 5-6 yrs from a "Tyvek" one sounds good! I suppose a key factor is one storage environment vs another. Local weather, UV exposure, junk falling off trees, etc, etc, etc.....
I guess the weight of the heavier material is a factor as well. I ain't getting younger or stronger. LOL. I'll be interested in how you find wrangling the new one.

Paid less for the Goldline then the “tyvek”. As far as weight, not really an issue. I lay out the cover on the ground in front of camper. Tie a rope around the rear tie strap on cover, toss rope up on roof. Climb on roof, pull rope and then cover up and over front of camper, slowly working my way back. When most of cover is on roof I climb down TC ladder. With step ladder I pull rest of cover over rear of camper then go around with step ladder and check everything. I lay down any antenna’s, etc that are on roof. I removed the maggie racks for the winter. Once you figure out a system, it’s not bad. I can cover the camper in 10-15 mins alone.
Again, time will tell if the Goldline holds up, but it certainly appears to be good quality.
