I am considering purchasing a towing cover for our new caravan. After only towing around 250 - 300 miles I can already see some marks on the white plastic from road debris and tar spots. Our  main concern is that use of a towing cover will create scratched windows and if that is the case we we would probably prefer to forget the whole idea of a cover.

The particular one I am interested in is the Specialised Tow Pro + which is upper mid range .

Has anyone bought one of these or has anyone got a view on the use of a towing cover in general.

Thanks everyone for all your comments.

Bluemalaga, as you are able to zip open the windows am I correct in assuming that you are using the 'top of the range' Tow Pro Elite?

This is £100 more than the 'next down the range' Tow Pro+ which can only unzip the front locker. With your knowledge now do you think the window access facility is worth the extra £100?

You are correct Swiftly

The biggest advantage is the padding offered. I do not know if the cheaper one offers the same padding. However if you have overnight stops you can leave the cover on and if you wish drop down the top part to allow light in. We have used it for this purpose and continental travel with stop overs would be a benefit.

Personal choice and hopefully last as long as you have the same van.
