I have a 2007 3075. Mine is listed as 34'-8" long. I don't use a cover (stays in covered storage) so I don't know exactly what size cover you should use.

There have been pros and cons about covers. I cover mine, as there are orchards near where I store my trailer. When the bees fly, they can really bomb the trailer and it takes awhile to get off all the bee doo.
My opinion on the Adco's. I have had two. First one lasted only two years, the second only 8 months. The cheaper Adco's are a generic fit. So you order one that is about a foot longer than the RV.
After my first cover bit the dust, I got a cover from Calmark. It was a generic fit. It lasted almost 5 years, it had a five year warranty.
After the First Calmark was done, I got an Adco, as I needed to cover the RV up returning from a trip. When it ripped, after only 8 months, Adco did replace it under warranty. The warranty was only for three years. It came and sat it the box. I had decided to go back to the Calmark cover.
Calmark covers are now only made custom fit. So you have to take several measurements to send to the company so they can make the cover. This cover does cost quite a bit more. It does have a 6 years warranty. It is heavier, so a little harder to get on the roof for covering. The securing system is better on the Calmark.

Look for other threads on this subject. Most Monty's are never covered in the winter with no problems whatsoever. Covers, on the other hand, have been known to cause problems.

I'd be willing to bet at least 90% of the folks here do not use covers.

As a new owner, I was tempted to order a cover too. I wanted to "protect" my investment. My "baby".
Then, I re-thought it: It occurred to me that the summer sun is far and away more damaging to my trailer than the winter could ever be. I decided a cover is totally pointless in the winter, and potentially damaging in and of itself. Let alone the extra expense that one costs. If anything, it should be covered during the hot, sunny months.
During the warm months, I've just decided to keep 303 protectant applied to all the plastic parts up on top along with the exposed top part of the vinyl awning. During the winter, which in Northern Utah is cloudy, snowy and cold, the trailer will be sitting totally untouched after winterizing it.

If you want to cover it, I'd try to find covered storage.

Asking about covers is like asking about tires.
That being said, we use a Calmark Semicustom cover here in Alaska. Since ours is stored outside and has snow sitting on it for 6-8 months at a time, I wanted it covered. We have used it for 3 years and not an issue. It is a great cover (that you will pay handsomely for, I might add) that fits well and still looks like it is brand new. Great customer service to ensure you get it right. http://www.calmarkcovers.com/5th-wheel-covers/
