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.

My answer to your question regarding partial paint/gelcoat. I can personally answer that I did not give this issue much thought, of course, with our first rig that had no paint, just stickers. I did give it thought when I saw that the front cap became completely dull within eight months and the stickers faded drastically. If you can handle the cost, full paint will handle age much better.
