Cover my 2007 Keystone 18RS Outback or not?

Do I cover my 2007 Keystone 18RS Outback or not?

I've read a lot on this forum and others where in equal amounts, they say to cover the trailers and NOT to cover the trailers.
So I'm confused on what to do.

My 2007 Keystone 18RS Outback is in storage outside on gravel at a Storage place near me.

Why or why not? Let's settle this.

NOTE: I'm leaning toward not using a cover as I notice wherever they sell the new and used trailers, none are covered.

I think you have your answer. JMO YMMV

Maybe the reason so many RVers cover their RV's is because they want to keep them clean which is a good reason for me as I've covered car before. I've noticed that there was moisture/dew under the covers and that might not be a good thing for trailers?
Also many claims of covers damaging trailers etc.

You've made good observations. Trapping moisture under the cover with the sides/roof subjected to that over a long period of time can lead to serious problems. I've never had a cover that didn't have condensation - now I don't because I don't use them. In addition, in our part of the world the wind seems to never stop and I have not seen an "RV cover" that doesn't scuff a paint job when subjected to constant wind - I've never seen an RV covered here. Other places will obviously be different.
