Cover recommendations

Shopping for a cover for my 1999 Designer 2930. Thought I had it narrowed down to an Adco Aquashed or a Camco Ultraguard. But reviews on Amazon vary widely, so now I'm unsure.
Any recommendations for something fairly durable for the northern winters that doesn't break the bank?
I had it shrink wrapped last year just because the guy happened to be doing a boat 3 houses away and he was able to come right over. But at $275 a pop I'm looking at something I can get more than one winter out of plus not have to dispose of all that plastic when spring arrives.

If you have space and can afford a canopy is the best way to go, or a lean too roof.
Covers will last on the average 4 to 5 seasons and some make's only 2 years.
Covers have to be strapped proper to avoid wind damage to RV and cover.

In the "for what it's worth" category, we've had Adco covers for the last two campers. The current one going on its sixth year. Holding up pretty well, with only a couple small spots to patch. Can't comment on any other brand yet.

I suppose it's an option. I've got the land. Camper is likely a bit tall to add a lean to on any of my existing structures.
Time is not plentiful right now. The option of increased taxes due to adding another structure to the property isn't a pleasant thought either. Decisions, decisions!
A carport with extended legs, attached to poured concrete tubes may be a future option.
