Towing Covers - Thoughts Please

We have been toying with the idea of getting a towing cover, especially given the mess that the front of the caravan gets into in winter, but I'd like to get thoughts from members who use or have used them.

What's prompted me to ask is that today I drove about 70 miles down the M6 between about 1130 and 1300.  Of the 44 caravans we saw only 3 (<7%) were using towing covers.  I'm assuming the majority of these were going either to or from a site, as opposed to to or from storage.  Therefore, I'd love to hear your opinions on whether they're worth it.

Many thanks.

My son who shares our van bought one from Specialised Covers, fits like a glove and takes 10 minutes to fit. I would not tow without it now, after a long tow in the wet it is filthy not to mention the protection from stone chips.
