Questions re: covering camper and care of finish

[rkreycik]

Greetings!

We love our 2014 13BHB.  It pulls great with our 4Runner (though we would opt for an 8 cylinder engine instead of our current 6 because it's kind of gutless up grades!).

Couple of questions on care.  Do you recommend using a cover in the winter, or does that just cause mold and abrasion problems?  Should we wax the finish?

Also, some folks park their tires on boards when the trailer will not be moving for awhile.  Is that necessary with nitro fill tires?

We have stored ours (with the aluminum roof) outside with no cover for several years. We don't wash it or wax it and it still looks pretty nice.

If you store in the sun, I would consider tire covers to keep the UV away, but I wouldn't worry about the insides of the tires with or without nitrogen.

Thanks David!

Some folks actually put boards or plastic blocks under their tires, I've noticed, to get them off the ground.  Does being on the ground or on pavement for long periods degrade the tires?
