"No way, we don't need a cover", I said. "It's parked indoors in the heat in winter and it's plugged in with A/C in the hot part of summer, when would I use a cover?", I said.
By last weekend we'd already hit 60 degrees here just outside Minneapolis, with no more freezing temps on the 10-day forecast. I had a great opportunity for some extra manpower to get the TT out of storage on Sunday, so I took it. I should have practiced what I preach... don't trust the forecast more than 2-3 days out, it's never accurate!
Just my luck, now the forecast says starting tonight we'll have rain, ice, sleet, snow through tomorrow night with the temps falling to about 20F.
I'm admittedly quite, er, careful (read: paranoid). I don't like exposing the camper to freezing temps more than I have to, especially when frozen precip will be involved.
So my anxiety is up a bit... combine that with a little bit of covid cabin fever, and I've now realized a use for all my tarps.
Today I decided I'll be buying a
real TT cover this year.
