I am surprised that no one has mentioned the importance of a couple of good coats of wax or better, one of the new UV protective coats. I live south of Miami, and covers are great, if you don't have covered storage, but.... for a Class A like an Axis/Vegas, you need to be up on a good sized step ladder or on the roof to put it on and take it off. I had a cover 10 years ago for my Class C, but ad I get older I do not like to spend any more time on stepladders or on the roof of my RV than I have to. I have had several friends badly hurt and two killed falling from heights as or not much higher than my Axis. It is one of the leading causes of injuries for us older folks. I decided two years ago when I bought my Vegas that my "bones" we're more important to me than the exterior of my RV. I put two coats of a good "polish" for fiberglass boats on twice a year and I have not had a problem with fading of the fiberglass or the graphics - even in the hot Florida sun 12 months a year.
