that has turned into a decent size job, replacing the front bed. Have a great camping year


And that's the main reason for covering it......Better safe than sorry!

i covered mine for the first time since i owned it, since i was storing it an hour away.
it sat from Dec.-March and was as clean as i had left it.
especially the roof.
no tears in the ADCO cover but i had read a lot of tips on how to properly secure it.
i'm a big believer in doing it every winter, now.

Is it helpful to cover it in the summer? Our HTT will be stored on an uncovered storage lot with the Atlanta sun beating down on it all day long.

We're of the "Cover" persuasion. Just seems like a relatively inexpensive insurance during the winter especially. Ours is stored under the ROOport at home 24/7, but even if the Adco is over-kill, we feel better. While not a terrible job to cover and uncover, it's not something we'd want to do every week or two. If you aren't going to camp for a month or more, it might be worth the job. We can put our Adco on in about 30 min, maybe a bit less. Uncovering is a snap unless you choose to carefully fold it, then takes more time.

We choose to cover ours. I just feel a little more confident as far as water damage during the winter months and helps minimize the UV fading and such as well. It's probably a 20 minute process to get it on, and if I wait for a slightly windy day, probably 5 minutes to get it off!!

I have covered mine, mainly to keep the snow out of the vents. This past winter the cover never got put for some reason, but we didn't get much snow either.

I took the cover off ours last Friday after 5 months. Does a perfect job of keeping the trailer dry, clean, and out of the weather.
