I have a 19.5-foot Palomino-Stampede travel trailer and I need a cover that will withstand rain, snow etc that the North East, USA can deliver in terms of weather. What do you recommend and where to buy one?

How about something like this?

You could leave the ends off of to prevent moisture buildup. Lowest price that I can find is on Amazon and at Northern Tool, both with free shipping.

I have this model, and would NOT close only one end.
We live in a very windy area. When the winds come at just the right angle to enter the opening, you end up with a huge balloon. Imagine a parachute on the ground when a gust of wind picks up not only the chute, but who it's attached to.
I have ground anchors on every post, as well as additional strapping. About the only thing I don't have is a concrete floor. I have both ends installed, but then I needed a dry area. I've been out there trying to work on mildly windy days and had to close the door due to the winds.
Open ends allow the wind to simply blow through. If I didn't need them, I'd take the end panels off completely.

I have used ADCO brand covers for my truck camper. They are water proof and have an inner layer that will not scuff the finish on the RV if it is moved about by the wind. They are not cheap. I think the last one I bought was around $350 for a 10' cab over camper. The only complaint I have is they are not very sunlight resistant. They are only good for about two years due sun damage. I have taken to covering the whole thing with a heavy duty silver tarp for the winter. The ADCO cover protects the finish on the camper and the tarp makes the cover last longer.

Some people around here have their planters or drills that sit outside long term shrink wrapped like they do boats.
There's a company around here that does it. Works especially well for campers since they're not oddly shaped.

By the time you buy 3-4 of these really temporary shelter deals, you might just as well put up a shed to park it in. Dad used to cover hay with plastic left from old silage bags. He was always fooling around to keep it on them and every time it was real windy he was out there pulling it back over the hay.

I had nice paint on a baler worn off corners by a shifting tarp, and I have seen first hand the damage to a tractor from having a tarp over it that was too tight. I had a 25 foot travel tailer here in NH for twenty years that I never covered and when sold the buyer could see no evidence of weathering. They are made to be out in the weather.
