No. We are on our third RV. The first two were stored outside in desert SW (very high UV). The MH was 20yrs old when we got rid of it with no roof issues (faded paint and graphics). The fiver was 13yrs old and no roof issues (also bad graphics, paint was good). We are full time in the current one so, no, it will never be covered either.
If you think about it, many of us live in these things and sometimes for many years.
Yes, if you want to have like new paint and graphics after 10 or 20 years then a carport cover will probably be necessary, along with regular maintenance. A tarp or flexible cover won't do it, unless you spend a lot of time checking and it does not touch the rig. In some areas with high winds even well fitting covers will damage the surface. It doesn't take much movement to ruin the surface.
