Blue plastic tarps are "the worst idea yet" for any RV protection. The forum is filled with posts describing how the brass grommets wore paint off the sides of the RV, how tarps "billowing in the wind" destroyed the TPO roof, how trying to tie down the tarp to prevent billowing actually broke the plastic components on the roof, how the tarp caught the TV antenna and the wind ripped it out of the roof, leaving holes that allowed rain to flow into the trailer.....

Those are just a few "quickies that come to mind" that have been posted in the past. There are hundreds of other situations detailed on this forum. THEN, there's every other forum that addresses "covering RV's with blue tarps"... They all reach the same conclusion....

Looking at your photos, it's apparent that your drip spouts are not protected and that the tarp is already "billowing" which sets up the real probability of greater damage from using the tarp than from leaving the trailer outside "unprotected by good intentions" that will probably "go way wrong"...…

If you can't tell from the above, I'm "hard over on the DON'T USE A TARP" list.....
