I've had an Adco cover since 2014 and the trailer is nice and clean when I take it off in the spring. I am in NY and the trailer is next to my house, so really bad wind is not an issue.

Flybouy:
I agree that there should be no continuity with the breaker off. I'm thinking the issue could be the breaker, which would be the easiest fix. I pulled the breaker this morning and found...

Replacing Foam in Tri Fold Sofa

I have a Passport 23RB with a Broyhill (I think) tri fold sofa. The cushion that you sit is on is in need of replacement foam. It doesn't appear that there are any zippers or easy way to do this. ...

This will be my 5th year covering my trailer with an Addco cover. I wash it, cover it, and when it is removed in the spring, the camper looks just like when I put the cover on. No issues at all.

I have 23rb and do not believe the sink drains into the black tank. But then again, I only camp at sites with sewers, so I really never thought about it. When the tank is full, I just open it.
