I’m in PA and it will be sitting outdoors in winter. Thanks Dom

First issue, are you physically able to carry the heavy cover up a ladder then wrestle it around the roof while hopscotching all the protrusions while 12-13' off the ground, then do the same to remove.
Second if you have winds in your area that constantly flap the cover it will chaff the corners of the rv & seriously shorten the life of the cover. If you decide late winter to take the rv on a trip will you be able to remove the cover while covered in ice/snow frozen to the roof? Most likely you'll be waiting til spring thaw.
Personally & good coat of wax before storage would be just as beneficial & a lot less work & expense than a cover.
The money better spent would be an rv port to pull it under, preferably with water, sewer & electric also, if it's allowed in your area then it becomes a guest house as well.
At the park we're in there's a Canadian couple that leave their TT on site & covered during the summer. We've been here 5 years & this year before they left they've bought/installed the 3rd cover in that 5 years.
