Cover and sitting water on flat areas

I covered my TT but after a rain storm, I noticed there is sitting water on some of the areas. My concern is water can still penetrate a cover if its puddling. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking of maybe putting pool floats inbetween the cover and the TT. Just in the middle areas to help guide. The other thought was to unlevel the TT. Have it leaning toward one side.


This is the cover I purchased...lifetime warranty...

Is this for a TT or MH? You mention TT, but the post is in the Class C section...

If it is a TT, in storage I always keep my TT with a good bit of slope to the back. This does not affect anything except the fridge if you are planning on keeping it running. The slope prevents water from pooling on the roof. Note that I slope backward because my roof has a lip at the front with a good 1/2-3/4" rise that can cause standing water. The back sheds water straight off as the membrane wraps around the back edge.

I don't use a cover, but I would worry that the pool noodles might just move the puddles around as the material wraps around them when heavy and wet. You would need to be very strategic with the placement.

What year and model camper is it?

I would tilt the unit to have a low side or corner. If it is a TT, nose high or low. Maybe even add a block under the wheels on one side. If it is a MH, add a block or two under the front wheels, to put a slight tilt to the roof line.

In reality, you will always trap some water no matter what.
