Cover or not Cover

We recently have had this discussion with many who have RV's... Cover or not cover.

We use to cover our Class A. The Cover was made for our RV and fit well. So well that one winter a mom and dad raccoon, made a nest on the roof. The use the front end and scratched off the roof top to help build their next and then used that scraped side for their bathroom. On the back end they had their nest and had their babies. Quite a surprise when we removed the cover in early spring.

As for the Shrink Wrap, we looked into that too for our new Montana and have also looked around. If you look at boats that are properly shrink wrapped, they build a wood frame inside and around items in the boat before they wrap. On the RV, the would build a wood frame on the roof around any of the items on the roof, like the air conditioner, etc. We were told that we could get mold and have other problems. It works on the boats because of the open areas and they can dry out..and also they are made for water.

We have met many that have rigs over 10 years and look brand new.. They have them detailed (Washed and waxed) 2 times a year.. in the spring and in the fall... they all look amazing and they are out in the elements all year long....

In the end, I guess it is just a personal choice.
