The cover was still frozen to the RV in May of the following spring which definitely delayed our March departure. The following year, we contracted for inside storage in an old manufacturing plant about 30 miles from our home and after 2 years, I built a pole barn, dedicated to storage of the RV, boat and motorcycles.

As far as I'm concerned, fabric covers have the potential to cause more harm than good and, I wouldn't cover my RV ever again. For me, it was worth the expense to rent space indoors and fortunately, for us, we found the opportunity to build our own indoor storage facility.
I 100% agree with this! I had a cover on my last trailer, and just by the wind blowing on the cover and it rubbing on the EDPM roof, cause a hole in the roof in just one season.
