Do you think it would be better to remove the transit cover on my Pullman camper while its stored in my garage over winter to aid ventillaion to the inside ? any ideas on this ?

My initial thoughts are "no" just open it up occasionally on a dry day to let air in. But may be if you leave it in place but undo the elastic? Ours is in a barn so we worry about mice and there is a lot of dust.

I roll the cover back a bit so it is well ventilated and bung a sheet over the exposed bit to keep out the dust.

I am not sure the cover would stop mice anyway!

Nor am I !! but I pray really hard and worry a lot! John bought me the winter cover as well but I reckon it just means they don't have as far to climb!

Thanks Julie'n'mo for the tip about the mouse repellent - we have mice in our garage despite having a cat! I'm hoping this should make it a rodent free zone!
