to cover or not to cover

I live in Oregon in the Willamette Valley near Salem. I have a 2015 Jayco Jayflight that I just bought this past spring. I was thinking about buying a cover while I have it parked next to my house for the winter. If I don't buy a cover this winter should I at least buy a cover for the air conditioner?

I've heard good and bad about both. Personally, I do not cover the whole camper. I do put my wheel covers on and I have an ac cover that goes on for the winter months too.
What I have heard is that a complete cover traps moisture and can create other problems.
I was also told if I do not cover, be sure to keep up on roof inspections and resealing. I think that's good advice either way.

COVER IT!!!!


If your winters include freezing overnights with above freezing daytime highs, the ice cycling will destroy the seals between the roof and the A/C and the roof/wall connections.
