First, thanks to everybody who responded to our request regarding the onboard kit! We are Super appreciative and will be extremely useful should something happen!
Now we are looking for recommendations for a coach cover as we live in Oregon and we get a lot of rain, frost and occasional snow.
We’ve also noticed that the cost for these fluctuates considerably, so looking for any good suggestions.
Thanks for looking

We use to store our coach in a rented spot, in a pole barn. Then record snow collapsed the shed and we lost that. But for the many years we had it there, I always covered it to keep the bird $h!t off of the paint. Now that it is outside in the elements, The wind will make the cover flap, leaving rub marks on the paint. I also found that it had a tendency to increase the moisture accumulation on the outside and particularly the underside of the coach, leading to corrosion. I do not have a building to store the coach in, and I have personally found that when stored long term outside, I put it up on ramps, and aIr up the bags, putting it up as high as I can so that the dry winter air can circulate freely and reduce to a considerable degree, moisture both inside and outside of the coach. I do wax the coach two times per year to preserve the paint. I suppose that there are times and circumstances where covering would be advantageous, but for me, unless I find another indoor storage, Covering is not for me. JWIT
