Good truck cover recommendations?

It's about that time now, I will be leaving the truck in some long term storage (OEF time) and unfortunately that includes the OUTDOOR interior Alaskan winter.

I will be leaving it full of fuel, some additive in it. As well as putting it on jack stands or blocks to support the tires. I was considering just leaving the batteries in the truck hooked to a trickle charger but since it gets so cold I figured it would be way better and cheaper to just take the batteries out and put them in warm storage. I searched and read other threads on storage, think I covered my bases, if I didn't let me know.

To my question now, does anyone have a quality cover they have used? I see so many ads and kinds online it's ridiculous. I am just hoping someone here has used a cover for all 4 seasons and can vouch or advise against a certain brand or model.

Thanks a lot guys!

Well I spent quite a while researching and think I will end up going with a cover from empire covers, one rated for snow. Still going to be a bit before I purchase and curious if anyone has actually used a cover long term and can recommend one. Thanks

My empire cover for my truck works great. I have the max truck cover and no complaints in two years of using it. The truck stays under the cover for most of the winter so around 5 months each year and no problems. I just have to make sure I strap it down good with all the wind around the Chicago area.

Thanks a lot, it's nice to get someone's input who's heard of the same brand.
