I’m considering moving my camper from storage to my driveway. I know storage is better but due to the cost I need to make the move. What cover would you suggest? I want to cover everything. Tires jack and winch area. You guys that does this do you see weathering under the covers?

Any help?

I moved mine from storage two years back due to the fact that we were spending more than 5 months a year camping. It seems to be doing fine in open storage in my backyard. The city I am in won't allow a carport cover to be built so it's in the open. I bought a cover, used it once. Decided it was too much hassle and sold it.

A cover can be useful, but far from a necessity. As pointed out earlier, they really are a hassle. I have one in a large tub in the basement that's been there for five years or so. The camper is doing just fine without it.
I've never seen a TT cover that enclosed the tongue (and all). I usually just put a plastic bucket upside down on top of the tongue jack. The cylinders already have a plastic cover, and the battery box is tucked way up in there so doesn't ever see the sun.

HF makes cheap wheel covers

lakecumberland...

nobody has yet mentioned that should you decide to put a tarp on it, then put something like pool noodles on the corners of the camper and try to allow for some air movement under the tarp...

I opted to modify a canopy cover, by adding pipe to the legs to make it higher... you may not have to do this mod... keeps most UV and dirt/rain off the roof.
