We love our Specialised; it's not the top one, but the next one down, so tailored exact fit to the van; really well made, very quick and easy to fit with wetsuit type material on the sides to allow stretching and really easy to order on their website.It is the towpro-the first tailored fit. We have had 2 new caravans and 2 covers to match them-both superb.

I have a Tow Pro. Quick to fit and does the job, still going strong after about 7 years.

We tried the Tow Pro Lite, great that its universal. But no where near as easy to put on and off. The others are more expensive, I don’t know if they are worth the difference.

I use a Rhino Guard complete with its own white LED front lights. Easy to fix and remove, light, and keeps,the front very clean.

I prefer my Protec cover to others i've owned, mainly as the centre zip allows me to fit it by myself.

I’ve got one for my Swift but only used it once as with the cover on there was no access to the front locker. Im sure there are makes which actually provide access to the locker.

Another vote for Specialised. I got the one with the zips to access the front lockers. Easy to put on and take off. Well worth the money to protect your pride and joy on the move.

Mine has no zips, cheap skate 😜But I can’t ever recall needing access to the locker whilst in transit. If I did just three fasteners need loosening and up she goes

Had a Rhino on our last van but it would not fit the compass camino as the awning rails are set back from the front a bit. We now have a Protec and are very happy with it, I can fit single handed in a couple of minutes and access the front locker easily.

The Rhino now sits in the garage until I get around to disposing of it.

Just thought an update was in order. Since writing the above our Protec cover has stretched, the lower elastics snapped and the fabric is failing where its folded. It now flaps at the bottom . Being 18 months old Protec aren't prepared to help so we may have to re-cut the bottom ourswlves to make it fit.

So I withdraw my remark about being very happy with it.

We rejected our Protec due to similar issues and managed to secure a refund. We now have a Specialised front towing cover.
