You say it's not good. You mean it's not beneficial, or it's actually bad for the truck?

That is a possibility...

Especially considering that the motorhome was just plain sweet. Frige, TV, satellite - way nicer than my crappy apartment.

Oil change=check, sta-bil in full tank=check, tires 5psi over spec=check, battery disconnected=check, truck in driveway until I get back=check. Thanks to all, hope it works!

unless you can have someone take it off everyonce and a while, say no to the tarp.
a friend of mine had his bike under a tarp for a year and it turned to garbage. moisture
still gets under it and can cause more damage then leaving it exposed. mildew, rust and i think there were mushrooms on his saddle bags.
