Fortunately we live in an area surrounded by hills and trees - natural wind breaks. We don't get the constant high winds which seem common in other areas. So, your "wind experience" may differ from ours. We haven't had any issues with flapping cover abrading the cab paint or gelcoat.
Our "non-use" winter season is 5+ months of potential freezing... however we still get that gelcoat oxidizing sun. Wax lasts about 3 months... and I'm certainly not going to wash/wax our RV when it's well below freezing in the middle of February!! The cover is excellent at blocking UV rays which destroy the sacrificial wax coating... so no winter waxing needed. The cover buys me several months time before a re-coat of wax is needed. So a cover makes sense for us considering our weather and usage... but I realize it may not for others.
