What should I look for when buying a cover for my 21' travel trailer?

[millworker301]

I am getting a 21' travel trailer and I am going to order a cover for it. This is my first RV and I am looking for info/suggestions on what to look for when buying a cover for it.

Thanks for any help that you may be.
Much appreciated.

Read the reviews on Amazon.  I cover mine in the winter, my cover fits snug.  Make sure you use swim noodles and blue tape to cover sharp edges.

I thought that I would want a cover for my new camper.
But I read that many people found that cover flaps in the wind, and this caused as much damage as the cover is intended to prevent.

I am not saying don't cover.  Just that there are two sides to the decision.

What sort of climate are you in?

I was going to say a better way to spend the money.  Which may not be helpful.

We don't cover.  Ours is new-to-us,so it has decal damage all ready.  Actually,where it faces the sun now may bring all sides to the same level of fading.  If we had brand new,I'm sure my husband would cover.

We are located in the mountains of Western NC. More concerned about the bad winter weather than the sun. Thanks

I think you would be much better served building a carport canopy instead of a cover.

My outdoor storage guy says covers last 3 years. After that he is picking up pieces of the cover all over the place. Just say?n.

One guy above stated there are 2 sides or answers to the issue. That being the case, take the side with reduced cost and hassle.
