I presume to buy a cover for below reasons...

1. I don't expect to have full body paint
2. I expect to store at my home under a very large Cedar Elm Tree. Lots of leaves in fall
3. In Dallas during Spring the pollen takes over, everything outside gets a thin coat of what look like yellowish green dust. When it stops; I wash the cover that is on my boat. My boat inside still looks brand new and it is 3 years old.
4. Hail storms come out of nowhere in Dallas area. Most covers if they are average anyway will help protect against hail.
5. While I expect to wax at least once a year, it will protect from UV and the surface gelcoat.
6. On this site, I keep reading horror stories from Thor owners that after a few years they say their RV finish looks like it is 10 years old?

But I am here to learn not teach (that would be Bob , so why should I not be worried about the above? I can save about $400 and a lot of work. I will be honest, I was up on the roof of a ACE yesterday, and the thought of putting on a cover & then taking it off with regularity made me tremble.

Tents are lot less complicated
