Camping World advertises a cover which protects a motor home while being stored. We'd be interested in learning of experience with this product.....we'll be storing our motorhome outside this winter. We live where there can be lots of snow and temperatures here can go well below zero.

We purchased our first motorcoach last September and I was hot to buy a cover for winter but other coach owners advised us against it. We live in Alberta and are subject to wind and snow, we were told that the wind against the cover will scratch or mar the paint and that a quick thaw will cause excess condensation.
We decided to leave ours outside and power wax it every spring. Check with other owners in your area.

I asked a similar question about should I cover or not. Scratching, condensation, easy of getting it off and on all came up in the discussion thread. Access to MH for routine running while in storage/covered was also mentioned. Previous MH we covered/uncovered several times during winter. Never got easier (and we got older) and cover ripped several times/places getting caught on slide toppers, etc. So with this MH we decided to wash and wax and leave it uncovered.
P.S. Ask ten people, get ten opinions. Do what works best for you.
