No.
I do use a heavy gage cotton duck tarp. It's about 16'x20'and weighs about 40 lbs. I bungee down the grommets to keep it from flapping in the breeze. It covers the top and down to below the windows. So far so good. Since it's breathable, it doesn't collect water underneath, at least not for long, and doesn't mar the surface. It does load up feet of snow just fine. More than a couple feet deep and I use my 'roof rake' to pull most of it off.
In the past I've used one of those pale green, breathable truck covers, just on the truck. The 100 mph Santa Anna winds made short work of that thing. I got most of one season out of it.

I used a 16x20 heavy silver/brown poly tarp from Lowe's. The ones from Harbor Freight are cheaper, but don't last nearly as long. The Lowe's tarps are better.
Lots of information on covers- use the search function. Last fall I purchased a Calmark cover (Click Here)
If you value your investment you should cover it. The cover must breath or you risk moisture being trapped and that is not good- so scrap the blue tarp.
Calmark. $500-600 but you'll buy it once. Also, cheap plastic-based
tarps in the wind can do some pretty amazing damage to the surface below
it given enough hours.
