HItch Cover is there actually a good one?

Second one from me today! Having got our caravan (2006 Bailey Senator Vermont) out of storage at last (it''s been a long winter for us) we found the hitch cover had finally disintegrated. Looking for a replacement on well known online retail websites and all the reviews seem to be terrible! I am looking for a nice big one that will go over the jockey wheel and handbrake and electrics. Sturdy because our caravan lives outside all year and easy to put on and off because we normally use it a lot. Some of the reviews say 'x' item is flimsy, others that they fade in the sun, or are hard to put on, or are too small. Does anyone actually have a recommendation for something that actually works or is everything cheap rubbish made you know where these days?

Frugality here in Cornwall too. I use a Levington garden compost bag - but turned inside out.

That’s far superior to a common bin bag. 😄

yes the ones with the string are useless, the string ends up wet, knotted and difficult to undo. We have one with a snap on buckle and adjustable strap, easier and quicker

We used to have a snap buckle type, but it wasn't big enough.  It was getting past it's best and then seem to disappear- not sure if a yone nicked it up the storage (unnlikely), or whether it just blew away.  We wanted a really large one, and the only one we could find was the string type.  It's now looking the worst for wear so I'm thinking it'll soon be right for a new one.
