[brookfien]

Hi

New to the forum and may of missed this topic, but is it best to cover your caravan with a breathable cover or leave it uncovered for the winter

All comments and sugestions more than welcome as we are new to Caravaning

Hi Neil,

I would most certainly reccomend a cover over one's caravan during the winter months,we have had one for three years and it has protected the caravan both in and out.That very slightly dampish spell doesn't exist with cover on plus it also protects the paintwork.If you buy one buy a good quality cover its well worth it.Jimbob

Ours is never out of service long enough for it to be worth covering. Just don't understand this staying home for half the year

Everything is relative, and each of us has different objectives. Caravanning in the winter is perfectly acceptable, if that is what you wish to do. However, it does cost money and some of us prefer to keep the money and use it towards the summer season. It also depends on where you live, if you live in the north then the daylight is so short, that you will spend 3/4 of the day in the van. If that is what you wish, then fine. Personally I prefer to stay at home and enjoy the day as it is.

Don't get me wrong, we are thinking seriously of a winter trip, but in the south of Spain where we can reasonably expect longer daylight and warmer weather. Again, it will cost so we need to save towards it.

I enjoy the caravan very much, but it does not dominate my life.
