Super C RV cover?

We have ordered and are awaiting delivery of our new Isata 5 30fw. Camping World has a sale on RV covers now and we want to take advantage of it. My husband is insisting that a regular RV cover will not fit the shape of this rig because the shape of the front with the Cummins diesel is different from a regular motor home with a Ford gas engine. Anyone have any recommendations or experience? I am looking at the Elements Premium All Climate cover. We have an Adco for our trailer and DO NOT want one for our new toy. Any help would be appreciated. Sale ends Oct 29. Thanks!!

I have a DX3 and I refuse to put anything over the motorhome with the paint job it has. I have owned many travel trailer and many cover and always had damage to the cover or to the trailer corners wearing color off. I don’t know what kind of roof is on yours but proper maintenance and care is all that I feel is need. If you have room on your property put up a carport or a garage to store it in, that’s what I’m doing.

I was wondering about not covering. We live in Los Angeles, very mild winters, its the summer that's brutally hot and it would not be covered then anyway. The roof is fiberglass, not rubber, not sure what if any maintenance it needs. We store it at an outdoor place close by, no room at home to store it, so can't put in under any shelter. Thanks for the reply.

Give it a good wax or polish and cover the tires.

I agree, good wax, keep roof properly cleaned, check caulking again in the spring. Rain X all windows and cover or remove your wipers. I replace the wipers every year anyways.
