I know this won't apply for the winter covering scenario, but I am now a proponent of covering the RV. Had mine covered now for almost a year with a breathable RV cover that was made for the RV model and purpose, and I really wish I had done it sooner as my RV is kept uncovered. For me, living in the south, the sun damage and keeping leaves off of it has been great, and its been through some pretty good thunderstorms and held up fine. It was a little pricey, but been worth every penny as the cost of wash and wax detail is at least double the price of the cover, and realistically triple that. But keeping covered lets me go much further between waxes and to an extent even washes. I haven't had any issues from having it covered, had way more with it uncovered.
And with a smaller trailer, its not too bad to get on off, does take two people but I suppose if you were thoughtful about it one person could get it on and off, just will take a bit longer! I would get one made for your trailer or at least made for rv's, Only using a tarp is cheap, but it won't really fit your rv and I think that it would be a real hassle to keep it in place, and I think the eyelets and what not being uncovered would increase the likelihood of scratches and other issues, where the purpose built covers take those things into consideration, have the corners built in and reinforced, etc. The tarp in addition to the purpose built RV cover makes sense as an extra layer for the roof! I cover the tires as well with tire covers.
