I like the idea of a cover during winter if the van isn't being used, but i'm a bit concerned about trapping moisture in etc and possibly doing more damage than good.

Any thoughts appreciated
hi lgbzone. never used one myself all i can say is i have bought items from riverswayleisure and its a good company to buy from . bought these wheel covers and the materials they use is excellent to keep out the bad & good weather out .jud
I have nothing against covers except putting them on. I had one and attempted to put it on, which is when I realised that it was not a simple job. Getting it over the van was so difficult, poles were supplied for you and someone else to lift it up. So I sold it unused.
There are times when removing such an awkward thing would stop me from going out on the spur of the moment to enjoy a sunny day etc. So a cover for me was a no, no!

Jud; them covers look smart, riversway isn't far from us maybe I should go and have a look
That's a good point Alan, I bet it would be a nightmare when it's windy and I must admit we use the van for days out as much as going away for longer periods.
Hi
I have been using a cover for the last two years it was made by protec
see attachments or my gallery. yes (depending on size) they are normally a two person job and are quite awkward. I have never found any damp problems or excessive rubbing even in the strong winds we have round here. Make sure you have a door to gain entry into the van. I normally put some thing like a beach ball or anything to keep the cover up a bit on the roof because of the bits i.e. sat dish, aircon unit, it can form pools of water. So after the heavy frosts and snow wind and rain its good to take it off and see it all nice and clean, I feel they are worth the effort. IMOhttp://www.motorhomefacts.com/images/icon/icon7.gif
Thanks for the images and links, interesting stuff.
I understand the point you're making Dave, cheers for the post. If I was a dealer I wouldn't bother either, but I don't see our van as a piece of stock passing through, it's my pride and joy. You're right they are built to live outside but they'll only have a limited expected lifespan.
