caravan cover

[izzeybear1]

Having just purchased a cover for my caravan (Bailey Pageant Bordeaux) I found that the position of roof vents create a 'pond' in the centre of the roof. I have made a temporary remedy but would ask others if they have had any problems and how they got round it. Maypole have assured me that it is a known problem and that it will not harm anything or affect any warranty. Your comments please.

The cover's water proofing will rapidly disappear if pooling is allowed to persist.

That was one of my concerns. I have ideas on how to fix the problem but its sourcing the materials that is problematic.

Why don't you simply place a plastic bowl beneath the cover where it pools? - you should be able to trim one to a minimum required height.

I have placed a old plastic sweet jar wrapped in sme of the excess material that came with the cover on the roof. This is doing the job at present but I was looking at other ways Your is one route I may look at as it would give a wider base and therefore be more stable.
Thanks for your interest.

How about a roll of bubble wrap, taped yp to stop it unrolling. You can make this to whater dimensions you need and it will not scratch the roof, even if it moves a bit with the wind.

Did not consider bubble wrap but it could be worth a try. Thanks
