Living in Socal when we had the gelcoat finish, I could finish buffing the shine back and watch it dull within weeks.

Indoor garage parking on far outskirts of Dallas is $150/mo inside the perimeter of city or close by $250 /month. I could pay someone to wax my RV twice a month for less than than and have it right next to my house.
My boats have all been gel coat. They sit in the sun while interior & inside have always been covered by very nice canvas. I have had 8 year old boats look newer than some that had a boat only two years because they never take care of the gel coat and leave it to the sun.
I do believe a cover for an RV may be a PITA. I have never done, but if I ever buy an RV and cover is is coming right after I buy insurance. They may them where you can go in and out without having to take off. so unless I am about to hit the road, my cover will always be on.
I do have question for you. Do you put any stock on a partial painted RV? Given you still have to protect the non painted portion does it make sense to go full paint or non paint at all? I am talking only about surface protection not aesthetics of how it may look.
