Cover a TT or HTT for the winter

Do you cover your HTT or TT over the winter with a typical blue tarp?  I know it is bad for popups due to condensation and it affects the roofs but with a TT or HTT there is much more air circulation inside the trailer and the roof is a rubber membrane. 

I know the best thing is a breathable cover but I don't want to spend $300 for a cover that will be a major PIA to put on and off.  I just want to cover the roof from berry goop that is currently falling from a tree nearby and the winter snow/ice/rain/wind.

We have a good breathable cover for our HTT.  Got it brand new on craigslist for 1/3 the cost if new.  It is actually fairly easy to put on and off.  But do need a fairly windless day.  Use to Protect in winter.  But have thought of using in summer if it will sit more than 3 weeks between trips to decrease UV exposure.

I have a pop up with an a/c unit on the roof. I want to cover it but I have been told that a blue tarp is a bad idea due to condensation. I want to avoid any mildew. Any suggestions?

Etrailer has decent priced covers for pop ups. I used and now my brother has used the same cover so nice 2011. I always covered the pop up whenever not in use, because it was easy to take on and off.
I also have a cover for the hybrid and its actually not that bad to put on as long as you fold it right when you take it off. I only cover for winter, but it keeps it clean and come spring I can just pretty much go.
