Hi J & T,
Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum and to the family. We have a great bunch of people here with lots of information and all willing to share their knowledge if needed.
I don't know of anyone myself that uses a cover in our area. I know the sun is hot, but it seems if you wash and wax once in a while everything stays good.
When you go for PDI, be sure and do a really good inspection, check everything from top to bottom. Did you buy from your local dealer? If so they have been good to me and take care of any problems.
Enjoy the forum.
