Should I cover?

Did a search and found a lot of threads about covers, durability, possible damage/delamination, etc... I'm more confused now than ever.

I'm in FL and we have some serious sun. I kinda assumed I should cover it as I store it outdoors. Wanted to get some feedback on what cover I should get, how long does it take to do the job, etc.

Thanks!

This is my third year covering my TT with a expedition brand cover tha t I bought on e-bay.
I have not had any of the problems that others have had.
I love to pull the cover off in the spring and see the TT is just as clean as it was when I put the cover on.
It takes about 20 min to put on.

Hope it works out, just covered mine with a Addco cover for first time today. Install was not exactly a piece of cake but will be better next time (if it survives the winter).

Never covered a TT. Always got above book when sold. We don't get as hot as you, but at 7500 feet we likely get as much UV.

We have had good luck covering both our former trailer as well as the current on. Love the way the trailer looks all clean and shiny when the cover comes off. Also means a wax job lasts much longer.

I think the most important part of covering is making sure you have a decent fit. Most covers come in a variety of stock sizes that might or might not match up with your particular make and model of trailer. Our first cover was an Expedition brand, and it was really too big for our old trailer. It could not be secured properly, and only lasted a couple of seasons.

We replaced it with a CalMark semi-custom cover. Made in the USA from made in the USA Sunbrella brand woven fabric. Made to order from detailed measurements taken directly from our trailer. It fit like a glove, and was much better quality than the old cover.

We have purchased a CalMark for our new trailer too. With the two of us, we can put it on in less than a half an hour - it comes off in half that time.
