We tarped our camper every year using a small heater to take the chill off and Dri ease to remove the moisture. Worked great for us.
With the trailer we just upped the amount of dri ease used, out a heater that has a fan and fully covered as we don’t use it Nov to March.
The oil filled heaters are great to heat but you do need air movement.
Absolutely positively DO NOT cover the roof with a tarp, that's asking for mold/mildew issues.
You'd be better following George's recommendation of keeping a close watch of windows & other seals & not worry about covering it.
Do you cover it in the summer? If not why do it now?
