Winter Storage Covers

[jameswbarton]

I need to get a storage cover for my 2016 High Country HM 375 FL. I have heard lots of good and bad about covers. I am wintering in Ohio near Cleveland so We get some pretty nasty snow, freezing rain, etc. What I am most concerned with is roof protection against snow ice and leaks. It is way too late to find any covered storage this year.

Does anyone have any recommendation on cover manufacturers and type/model of covers for this 13'1' tall, 45' long monster.

First, they are very heavy and you have to get up on the roof with it and struggle to get it on. Next the wind will propably cause it leave marks on the finish and possibly tear off one or more of the drains. Mainwhile, down at the local dealer and the northern Indiana storage lots all the new rigs are sitting out in the ice and snow and someone will be buying them when it warms up. We didn't cover ours until we went full time and it didn't seem to matter. Been in a number of snow and ice storms since we went full time and still no issues. That said some folks swear by covers.

Thanks. I spent 2 winters in Ohio full time in mine. The Montana has an acknowledged roof design defect that Keystone refused to fix. Both rear corners will not drain due to bad design and form ice dams that destroy the mounds of caulking the Dealer had to do to fix the flaw. I am 71 and probably cannot lift a heavy cover. What I need is a roof cover for the rear roof, and where the rear AC unit leaks into the bedroom when it rains hard.
