I am considering purchasing a custom TT cover made out of Sunbrella fabric. Did not have one for the 16DB and it did fine outside for the 2 years we owned it. Plan on keeping the 21BHS short of forever and want to take care of it.
Anyone use, consider using or have an opinion about covers, there effectiveness, quality and any adverse effects on your camper? Read about some chaffing issues on the irv2 forum.
I have a quote from a place called Calmark covers for just shy of $700. Would value any input/insite from those that know.
I'd be interested in this too. I covered a car (Pathfinder) one year here in Michigan and it was a pain. The freeze-thaw cycles and snow/sleet/rain combo in the winter months led to frozen material that didn't breathe that led to condensation and dampness. And when frozen there was no way to get it off, even temporarily. For anything left outside in the winter now, I use NuFinish wax on the metal parts and 303 Protectant on the plastic and rubber parts. I make sure there are no leaks and I put a large can of DampRid inside. Everything makes it through just fine. I realize waxing a trailer for sun protection is a huge job, but I'm up for it later this month. Maybe covers are high tech enough now to be useable?
By the way, I'm sure there are other threads on covers, but I didn't run any searches.

Here are a couple of threads, but they may not apply. I thought there were more.
