Q: How do I find the correct size for my Caravan Cover?
To find the correct size caravan cover for your caravan, just measure the length of the caravan body only – don’t include the hitch. The Caravan Covers then cover caravans within a size range - so, for example, if the body of your caravan is 20ft long, you require the cover for 18' 1" to 20' cover. Note the actual cover length is 20' 6" so the cover has enough excess to fit the size of your van if the exterior measured length is 20' These covers are wide and high enough for all Caravan models. Caravan Owner Manuals often provide the interior dimensions and not exterior so you need to double check the length by mesuring your Caravan or Pop Top before placing an order
Which size do I need for made to Order Caravan Covers?
Our made to order Caravan covers are made in 60cm / 2ft increments and in 30cm / 1ft in our Ultimate USA made range. So if you van measures 14' 6" or 15' exterior length you would need the 430cm to 490cm / 14ft to 16ft in the Premium Ready Made Range15ft Cover. The covers are six inches longer in length so that they can be installed onto your van, if the cover was the same length as the van you would not be able to install it.
I have an awning and / or aircon unit?
Our covers fit for all Caravans with Awnings and Aircon Units
How does the caravan cover fit over aerials, guttering etc?
We recommend that sharp or fragile objects on the exterior of your caravan such as aerials, guttering etc are removed if possible, or covered with a cloth or piece of carpet, before fitting the cover in order to prevent damage to both them and the cover. Fitting instructions are included with every cover. If you have an aerial mounted on the side of your roof that does not fold down you may find that on that side the cover is lifted slightly on the side, this would in most cases only happen for full size vans, for pop tops you have enough side coverage to accomodate the side mounted aerials. Some of the new Caravan Aerials are mounted on the extreme caravan edge in this case you may find that the cover is lifted on this side
Are Caravan Covers hard to put on?
Before purchasing a Caravan Cover consider how agile you are before making the cover decision, we have different designs of covers available which all have different installation methods. The Premium ready made cover is the easiest fabric cover to install, it is quite heavy but with its 3 piece design is more manageable. The Stormcover has the same installation method. You should normally allow approximately 30 - 40 minutes for installation. Covers should not be installed on windy days, they should also be put onto clean and dry vans, loose dirt on your carav could cause rubbing and scratching.
Do Caravan Covers scratch Caravans?
No Covers dont, but you need to aware of what can cause scratching and rubbing and take preventative measures. Firstly if your van is dirty when the cover is put on then the dirt particles can rub against your cover and cause scratching. Also if you have acrylic / perspex windows then you should be aware that they cause static, this static attracts dirt an dust particles. After much research we have found that a product called VuPlex which is a specially designed anti static formula and also scratch treatment is the best solution to this problem. The problem of scratching exists because of the nature of the perspex windows and not because of the cover, but treatment with VuPlex is reccomended whether you have a caravan cover on your van or not, it will help prolong the clarity of your windows.
I bought a Caravan cover from another supplier and it only lasted 6 months is this the same quality cover?
No. There are some products on the market that are manufactured using materials that are not designed for extended UV exposure. Our Premium Ready Made Caravan Covers offer good covers at a good price, the mininumum amount of time they will last under constant UV conditions is 12 months, however they can last quite a bit longer than this. But if you want the most durable ready-made Caravan Cover then look at our our Ultimate or Stormcover Range, they are a higher cost but have warranties that reflect the warranty period and materials used for manufacturing.
