rubble express,
First of all, welcome to the forum! As you can see from the previous posts, if you live in a Hot, or Windy climate, a cover is NOT the way to protect your rig. We used to live in the "great Northwest" which is actually "rain country", and we alway used a huge tarp anchored over our 5th Wheels, but only for the real wet, soggy, stormy, and trees loosing their needles months, that would be Nov thru Feb. in Washington state. It helped keep the "green" off the rig. We now spend most of our time in Yuma AZ. and wouldn't dream of using a tarp to cover the rig, for all of the previously printed reasons. The product Carol was talking about is (Dry z Arie). It is put out in a container with a moisture bowl to absorb and capture excess moisture.

So.... I guess it all depends on where you are, and what risks you want to take when it comes to using a cover. Just remember, that long term use of a cover will cause abrasive wear on the rig.
