Looking for comments/suggestions from anyone that may have one.
Yes, we have the roof cover and love it. It is so much easier to put on than the full cover we used to have. We are in hot So. Calif. so this cover protects the parts that need it most like vent covers, AC and especially the awning and nose cap. And at a fraction of the cost of the full cover too. We also have lots of wind but it stays put. We have only had it one summer but even if it only lasts a couple of years, it is a worthwhile investment at $200.

Cover? Yes
Tennis ball on rain spouts? Yes
Pool noodles on other 'sharp' areas (ladder edges for example)? Yes
Difficult to put on? Not really, 30 mins tops with a good ladder
Worth it? I keep telling myself yes...

This one even came with 4 covers for the tires

Just ordered a cover from Amazon then looked at the amount of skylights, air conditioner, antenna etc, I canceled the order. I can't see how the cover would be helpful with all the "stuff" on the roof. I may reconsider but doubt it.

I don't use a cover. The prohibitively high cost and thought of what to do with it during camping season are enough to keep me away.

Easy enough to put it under a canopy or garage, so no need for a cover

I would think the decision to cover would depend more on the surroundings of your camper. I covered our fifth wheel last year and now just purchased a 2018 Greyhawk prestige, picking up any day now, and am looking for a cover for it. If you have no cover at all I would think it's a no brainer to keep skin of camper away from the elements as much as possible. It's amazing how much dirt, concrete and other elements flying around get into areas you never thought possible. I was hoping i could find a thread and get a reference on a cover that fits my model well. I had an adco cover for my last and was ok. But tropical storm winds pulled strap stitches away. I should have shored it up better before the storm but am looking at a carver cover right now.

I'm in this thread previously as an absolute MUST COVER proponent.

This year I'm setting up to keep the TT in the barn.
