Trave trailer cover

Some like them some don't. You'll get about 50/50 positive and negative.

I bought one for my truck camper. It was a pain putting on and taking it off. It only lasted one winter.

I've never used one on the travel trailer.

I had my first cover for 5 years. Just bought the new one this year. They are great at keeping the RV clean and depending on the cover, dry. My first one was a standard cover from Addco my new one is a SFS Aquashed. The Aquashed is more suited to wet climates. When you do use it be sure to pad all corners and anything that protrudes. I use bubble wrap on all corners/edges. If you follow that the cover will last a long time and keep the trailer looking like new.

BTW, the cover cost me $250 and i get 5 years from it. Indoor storage costs me $400+ a season. So even though it's not truly out of the elements, i'm ahead when using the cover vs. indoor storage.

At 10 y/o my trailer still looks like new and I attribute that to keeping the elements off it for 6~7 months every year.
(I have an ADCO cover.)

cover is a great way to keep it nice, though ADCO covers are the worst

We used covers for several years and then I just quit. If they are tied down snug, they are nice to use. But if you plan on trips often, winter camps, it's a real pain to put them off and on all time.

If your in a dusty area of the country, have to park under trees, or park in a harsh environment, then cover.

4famfun's experience notwithstanding, I've had good luck with my Adco Tyvek. 6th year right now.

Same here have had good luck the Adco covers. I can't see any reason not to cover mine.

If you use the cover make sure it is tied down tight so it doesn't flap in the wind. Friction from the flapping can really do some damage.

I have an ADCO work great. Keeps the roof in good shape. Next best option to storing it inside.

Had an ADCO for our HTT for 7 seasons and other than a very tiny hole, fixed with a bit of duct tape, it went to it's new home looking brand new. We have a covered area right here at home, but still used the ADCO. When we moved to the TT, just never got around to getting a cover for this year, but will before next fall. Keeps it cleaner and protects against all sorts of stuff. If storing outdoors, wouldn't consider NOT having a cover for winter. Covering and uncovering every couple of weeks is a pain, but for long term, strongly suggest cover.
