I live in sunny So. Cal. I want to get a cover to keep the sun and rain from ruining my rig. Which type of cover would work better, last longer, Water Shed or Tyvex? Camping World has them on sale (which ends today).

I'd go with the Tyvek roof panel, as it reflects the heat a lot better.

I went with a Tyvek cover here in So CA...... after 10 months it was eaten up by UV. The dealer gave me credit towards a cover with the Sunbrella material. Also, if you live in a windy area, the covers need to installed very securely.

It's a Clasic Poly Pro III

I bought it in December and so far so good. It's been through all of the elements that Mother Nature has to offer and it still looks like new. It has a 3 year replacement warranty. It's probably not the best or longest lasting TH cover available, but for the money I think it is worth it. If it lasts 3 years and only cost $220 delivered I'd say it's money well spent. It fits well, has zipper openings in all the right places and plenty of tie downs to secure it.

I had a cover on my slide in camper which was stored in a place that was windy everyday. It was tied down tight and was very snug on the camper but it would still move around. Over time I noticed wear at the edges of my roof material and some of the paint on the gutters and other contact points was worn away. No more covers for me. I put cardboard in the windows of my TH and keep a coat of wax on it and the tires covered and do not use a cover.

If you store your trailer in the desert your best bet is try an keep it waxed and hopefully parked between two other rigs. We keep ours stored down in El Centro and covers just don't stand a chance. Few people in our group who keep their trailers at their home/storage in San Diego, have had pretty good luck with the Poly Pro II from Wally World. Hope this helps
