Great question! We have an 05 Monty that when not in use in located in a storage area as well. The nose sticks out just a bit, but luckily faces North, so no direct sun. I am still getting some edges on the decals curling a bit. I had thought about covering it, but not sure what would be the best. I know that Sunbrella materiel is suppose to be great, but how would you cover the nose that high up???
