I'd measure the box length of the trailer and buy a cover for that size. I believe the 1950 was about 21 1/2' by 2005. So the box is probably 19ish. A 20-22' cover would probably work well, and give you some extra to extend over the tongue. Generally you want a tight fit with the cover, so that it doesn't flop around in the wind.
I also recommend getting some pieces of foam pipe insulation to cover over the gutter corners with, and anything else sharp. Those sharp points will tear a cover to shreds with a bit of wind. You may need to tape the foam on so it stays too.
Advantages:
- Keeps the trailer cleaner
- Seals any melting snow from seeping in any compromised roof seams
- Prevents ice buildup on the sides of the trailer that can expand things and break seals
- UV protection
- Security
Disadvantages:
- Not the easiest to put on. Doable but will require a ladder and some time.
- Can tear on sharp things in the wind if not a snug fit.
- Makes getting in the trailer somewhat difficult during the winter.
- Snow load still sits on the roof.
- Roof can develop mold if there's no airflow under the cover.
Really aren't any significant disadvantages to using the cover unless you compare to inside storage.
