I personally would not use any covers, and have not used on any mhomes or caravans since I started.

Have seen the damage that can be caused to paintwork by covers rubbing in wind, and prefer to take my chance if kept polished and cleaned regularly they should come to no harm.

Well that`s our 13th year & still loving it.
covers

I agree with Desco on this, we had a custom made cover for our MX5, really did fit like a glove but after a particular bad storm we noticed that it had rubbed the paint on the corners of all four wings so after that we never used it again.

Go with the advice of keep it regularly cleaned and polished and you should n`t have a problem.

i use a cover as we have large mature trees in our garden which drops leaves and acorns, so cover is a must for me.

Newbie!
Ours is parked under a very mature Oak tree, the leaves and Acorns don't really cause an issue.

I personally don't like covers, even the best ones still get damp underneath that could cuase other issues. It's probably best to leave the MH air and just clean the leaves off now and again. They shouldn't cause too much of an issue.

To be honest, if you are storing it for long periods then you need to get out and drive it every couple of weeks, most of the leaves will just blow off (excuse me :roflmto:) during a short drive.
