Need Cover For Raptor 300MP

I'm in the market for a cover but on not sure if any of the ones I see online will fit my coach since it is pretty tall. None of the dimensions specified give the length of the height and I'm trying to purchase this online since Camping World is having a good sale. Does anybody out there who owns a Raptor have any experience in buying a cover? Did yid you have any issues with the height?

cover

for whatever it is worth I was taught that a cover is a waste of money. trailers are intended to be outside and the cover can damage the trailer when it is rubbing.

Lots of previous posts and threads about covering RV's. Bad juju all around.

I hear that...yet I got a letter from camping world about how important it is to cover my rv ....im sure it is a sales pitch but I do wonder if covering will help keep it from fading?

As discussed many times in the past, yes, it will prevent fading, but at the expense of the rubbing in the wind problem and trapping moisture underneath the cover which leads to mold and mildew. That's not a trade I am not willing to consider.

The best solution is to park it under a roof with a sun side wall of some kind. We had that for the first three years that we've had the Cougar. Now I park it on the side of the house that never gets any sun. And when winterizing I leave all three roof vents wide open under the MaxxAirs to prevent any moisture buildup inside.
