Just search for “RV covers”, pour a LARGE GLASS of your favorite beverage and you’ll be busy

Used to - no longer do it. Too much rubbing of the cover on finishes and roof. Still see allot of people cover their RV.

We did our first year, then saw the wind rubbed some of the paint off the aluminum at the bottom. This year no cover.

Yes. Been using the same cover for 4 years now. Still in great shape. No rubbing of any kind. I put tennis balls on the gutter down spout extensions.
I use an ADCO brand cover. Had a different brand before and it didn't hold up very well. I see everyone in my neighborhood uses a version of the ADCO brand. This is what I use.

NO!! Don't want to wrestle it up/down, it would make a great sail, but too close to the ground to be a good parachute. If your in a windy area, no cover. Is the roof of YOUR rv walkable, if not it would near impossible to use the cover. Personally I'd spend the money on a good wax job before storing & forget the cover.

So your ADCO has head up? Just bought a Carbon 349 and trying to find a good cover. So many reviews out there and so many bad reviews on many of them.
