This is the only place I have to store the camper over the winter and it can get pretty well covered and dirty with tree debris if not covered. I snow blow around it so that I can get access if necessary. haven't yet decided if I'm going to put the wheel covers on.

My Cougar 26RBI needed a cover which was 28.5' long and that just barely got over the front cap.


Bill,

It looks like your tires are sitting on the ground. If that's the situation, you might want to consider cutting some plywood, using 2x10's, or possibly concrete pads under the tires. The ground gets wet and sitting in water/being wet all winter is not "ideal storage" for tires. I'd recommend covering them for the winter. The exposure to ozone and UV is accumulative, and when it can be avoided, especially for "months on end", covering the tires just makes one less thing to worry about.
