To cover or not
I chose to cover my previous MH, only to have the finish damaged by thousands of tiny scratches in the finish over a three year period in South Florida. I bought very nice top grade covers each time, but they usually on lasted about two years in the intense sun, heat and rain that we have here. Then the fine scratches would allow mold and dirt to get a foothold and I would have to work harder at washing etc. I always washed and waxed my rig befor covering it. It all just became a pain to me, we used our MH often so I was always covering and uncovering it.
With our new ACE, I decided to go with a permanent RV port and I'm quite glad that I did. It sets next to my house protected form the sun and rain. I can go out and work on it anytime I want and not have to uncover it. I can hop in and take it for a drive and keep a better eye on things.
The RV port cost was reasonable (3,800.00) verses a paid storage facility or the hassles of covering each time.
The company that I chose was able to meet or exceed Florida and my strict County building codes.
I do realize that many people do not have the room or building codes to allow them to build this type of cover, I was lucky to be able to.
There are many who have built awesome RV garages too, I just couldn't justify that expense at this point, maybe some day if I move up to a bigger coach😊
