Cover for Loredo 291TG

I plan to buy a cover for my new Loredo 291TG for winter storage. The cover will have to be made for colder snow climates. Can anyone recommend a brand?

We have used an ADCO cover and purchased it at CW - who sells 2 or 3 different varieties. HOwever, when I checked the rubber roof after removing the cover just recently, I am seriously considering NOT covering it again.
Our roof, where it meets the sides of the RV, does not have a smooth, rounded profile but rather an abrupt edge. Throughout most of the length of the roof - along the edges - there are signs of wear and slight abrasion. No doubt this has been caused by the wind moving the cover across the edges of the rubber roof - something akin to sandpaper.
Unless I can come up with some way of protecting the edges of the rubber roof from this wear and tear, I will leave the cover off.
At this time, I would not recommend a cover for your RV. I might have a different opinion IF the roof edges were rounded rather than abrupt or "sharp". I think the majority of people would not endorse covering it.

rv covers

Here is what keystone has to say:Mr. Francis;
Thank you for taking the time to email Keystone RV. Keystone does not recommend covers on the units due to aftermarket products and moisture can be trapped under the cover and in the wind the cover can blow and rub on the unit and cause damages. If the repair centers are telling you that a temporary repair is to reseal the front cap then that would mean that there is gaps and voids in the sealant on the front cap which allowed water infiltration which caused bubbling. For a permanent repair it would have to be replaced and resealed. Has there been cap issues?? Industry wide in 2004/05 there was a glue issue that was causing bubbling on caps and walls of all kinds of unit but that was resolved then and have not seen since then.
Thank you for your time,
KEYSTONE RV
