Winter Cover???

[Kemosabi]

With the new trailer and the snow coming, I am considering an "ADCO" - All Climate, Designer Series, 3 Layer RV Cover. They are Dupont Tyvec top panel, 3 layer high performance sides for maximum breathability etc. etc.

With the trailer staying parked on site all winter does anyone have thoughts on going with one of these or not? I have cedar trees beside/above so the trailer gets dirty and I also have the side slideout awnings so I wonder if this is a good idea to keep all awnings covered and clean thus in better shape for opening in the spring? Is there a downside to this?

With the previous trailer I had lots of tree stuff on the roof in the spring and of course the black streaks down the exterior.

In 25 years I've never had a cover. I've seen some that did and their paint was damaged by abrasion when the wind blows the cover. Not my personal experience, but it happens.

I plan on purchasing an ADCO cover myself as my new 2012 RV will be outdoors all winter. I live in SE Michigan, so I am going to error on the side of caution and protect my investment.

I did notice ADCO has sold 10 million covers worldwide to date, so I'd have to believe they are building a somewhat reliable product. Although the cover I am buying is only warrantied for 2 years.

I've driven through storage facilities with ADCO covers that were torn on RV's. But that isn't going to alter my decision in buying one.

Hope it works out for the both of us!

I have an Asco cover for my 2006 Rockwood 2603. We live on the west coast of Canada and see lots if rains, high winds and a little snow. We camp until November and when we are done I wash wax and winterized. The cover goes on and in the spring our trailer comes out looking like the day I covered it. It does fake time to be sore that it won't rub but it breaths well where a tarp will trap moisture. This is the second rig I have used this cover on and would not go a winter with out it.
