I don't think anyone including my manufacturer would dispute or disagree with the statement "
that a good cover properly installed offers me a little extra protection through the Ohio winters" that is true in Texas or the Sahara Desert.
The point is my Mfg says in the Owners Manual that RV covers are
NOT recommended and they tell you why. They don't say they recommend them in any certain state or any certain season(s) of the year.
They also don't say to not use.
To be clear I have ZERO experience with an actual RV cover. I have covers for my boat and both motorcycles. I can actually take a picture of cover damage on one front tire fender finish on one of my bikes. It is dull color that will never wax out. I also have covers for all of my vehicles, but I only use them when they can't be garaged when hail is in the forecast.
With all that said, I do get, understand and appreciate why one might find it desirable to cover such a pricey possession over extended months when not in use. When compared to the RV owner that leaves their RV out exposed to the elements with no proper waxing; it is night and day difference. But if you do the research and actually maintain the waxed finish as you state; your cover has just as much chance of doing damage as it does of further providing
that little extra protection.
I am curious about something. Do they cover and stop selling RVs at the dealerships in Ohio during the winter?
