Still searching covering solution-RV covers use or avoid?

[ron]

Still searching for a covering solution, so now I'm trying to gain insight into RV covers. 

[font size="5"]H[/font][font size="3"]ave you used these and like them or used them and stopped?  [/font][font size="3"]

Are these OK to use, or to be avoided at all costs?  Some look to be "breathable" and will knock off the damaging UV rays, and on the other hand I have heard they trap moisture, to avoid these at all costs.

If they are OK, which brands are good.  Goldline gets a good amazon rating, but they are pricey.......... $300+

ADCO seemed to get good ratings.  Expeditions were not good by ratings and comments. 

Most likely my 14dbs will winter under a fixed shed, or in a large barn, so this is a March thru November solution. 

Advice appreciated.

Where are you located? Up here on the northwest coast I don't use them because we've got a bit of a goldilocks effect. It never gets very hot or very cold here, but it's often wet. If I put a cover on mine there would be a jungle growing under/in it within a couple weeks. I just park it nose down so the water doesn't pool as easily.

We are in upper East TN, the humid, hot mountains. The past years have been getting more and more dry.  UV rays and sunlight heat are my problems more than rain I would think.  I have it parked where it gets full shade after 2-3 pm, so at least it does not take the brunt of the summer sun.

This will be a March thru June--some rains, July-September, bone dry in recent years and brutal sun, with more hailstorms in the past 4 years than I have seen in my prior 54 years. October thru Dec decent temps, and in covered shed/barn Jan thru March.

Those pricey Goldlines or ADCOs say they breathe easily, but who knows if that is really accurate?

I'm sure their claims of breathe-ability are probably pretty accurate, but in our neck of the woods between October and April it will be soaking wet no matter how breathable it is. Concrete turns green within a few months, so a nice spongy cloth will be in trouble. Not so sure about your region, there are a few members from your area that might chime in with their experience.

I use the ADCO cover, white top beige sides, with Gore Tex on my 21bhs.  I live on Long Island so we get it all, rain, snow, and humidity. It is great not only does it keep it clean and dry it keeps the sun off.  They are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.  One important note, there are a lot of sharp corners that can tear the cover, I use foam pipe insulation with blue painters tape and have not had a tear yet.

Sorry to jump into this discussion so late, but we recently bought our 21 RBS and I was about to take advantage of a recent CW sale for ADCO covers. After reading everything I could for reviews of the Tyvek cover, I held off on my purchase. The reviews of these covers, and the Expeditions were full of reports that they disintegrated very quickly. I had purchased a cover on ebay for my Lil Snoozy, and used it for three years without incident. We live in Charleston, SC, so our winters aren't too severe. The company I purchased it from ( at a VERY reasonable price), seems to have gone through a structure change, but after making some phone calls, they offered me a cover for $175 plus $25 S&H. Their original post on ebay linked to pictures of the covers, but this time there were no pictures or product description, so I balked at purchasing one. My question is similar to the original one asked....does anyone have experience with ADCO or similar covers as to their quality, or do we have to go to the high dollar covers? I like covering my trailer. I just don't like throwing my money away. Thanks for any feedback.
