Caravan Covers

[Somersetboy]

Does anyone use them? Any preference to make?

I have used a standard ( ie not made to measure) cover for years on my third or fourth now just a maypole or similar make as we are infrequent caravan users and the cover helps to keep the caravan clean? I never had any problems with damage to the caravan etc but I do have a 14 yr old caravan ? I also tow with a front cover , I had a stone damage the front window on our previous caravan so thought I try one again not made to measure I’ve used this cover 3 or four time it’s been fine and agin helps keep the caravan front clean when towing.

Caravan is supposed to be designed to stay out in all weathers so we have not bothered with a cover however we do use a front towing cover after damaged to the front panel.

When we use to own a caravan we use to own a specialised covers when it was in storage when we not out and about in it . and also a front towing cover .

I have one. Used it once. What a faf getting it on and strapped up. Not bothered since for the last ten years.
As she is serviced every February I want to know if she’s leaking😉

I used a cover on my Motorhome primarily because it used to be parked under trees at home. Not easy to get on but I managed. Then I moved to another location which is windy and it got shredded to pieces around the straps so I didn't bother anymore.

A neighbour of. Mine had the same problem, he fitted it twice, then I saw it in his bin. Shredded.

I've seen the damage caused when a cover goes wrong, the plastic toggles had broken in the wind. The resulting damage looked like someone had taken a hammer to the entire side of the caravan. No thanks
