2022 Thor Axis Cover?

Hi,
I live in New England. I was just wondering what is the best cover for this motorhome.
Thanks.

Many you'll see on here will say no cover.

We've covered ours almost every winter since we've had it except last one.

I make do with a 24ft Class C cover--a Class A cover will be too big.

Just read through this thread on the same topic:

I'm in Ohio... I "store" our RV in the back yard here at the house. I have successfully used a Tyvek material cover on our 2020 class C the last two winters. It cinches pretty tight and no problems with wind "flapping" or causing it to rub against the RV's finish. I cut a hole in the top and fitted it snugly around/under one of my roof mounted solar panels for battery maintenance... worked GREAT the last two winters. It has held up extremely well - no tears or worn seams. It even has zippered panels to allow access to the RV when stored.

However, having a fiberglass gelcoat finish on this RV I'm in the process of removing some advancing chalking/oxidation - then giving a thorough coat of wax. A LOT of elbow grease, but as time rolls on, it gets more difficult every year to hoist that heavy cover onto the roof!

This year I'm thinking about not using the cover. In discussions with a fellow RV enthusiast, I'm considering using a top-notch wax job to protect the RV over the winter. Seems as though many people use this method with excellent results. The wax and protective coatings SHOULD be a part of routine maintenance/upkeep anyway... why not use that to advantage for winter storage?

Just my thoughts and humble opinion...
