How do people feel about a cover to keep snow and dirt off of their campers? If you use a cover, what brand do you have and would you recommend it?<div id="myWatcherDiv" style="display:n&#111;ne;">
Thanks for your input.

Crossroads does not recommend them and most of the post I have read about them they do not get good reviews.

They have been accused of holding moisture in, leading to far greater problems than they are supposedly curing.

They can also damage the surface finish as the move in the wind.

Another big problem with covers, even the ones designed for RV's, is they cause a lot of scuffing damage to the rolled roof edges from wind movement. As Hunter11 stated, Crossroads does not recommend them.

Don't use one for the reasons that have already been posted. In the park where my trailer is stored 2/3 of the units are not covered, 1/3 are. If you choose to cover the Gold Coast covers appear to be well made and good design.
