Front Towing covers

We have Specialised Covers and just ordered another for our new van, it’s a middle range which enables access to the lockers without complete removal and costs £299.00

If wet when we arrive on site we hang it in the shower cubicle.  They are easy to clean.

We do not use one as some are known to "scratch?" the windows if grit from the road gets in, a quick rinse down with plain water  if a wet journey has kept our c/vans in good nick over the years

We have a Specialised Tow Pro that came as part of the show offer. There is a tread running in accessories that gives details on the Specialised web tool to determine which one fits your caravan. Think the Tow Pro is £199 from memory.

If it gets wet whilst en route to site or home it gets hung in the offside awning channel to dry, then fold and stored in the front nearside locker in its storage bag.

We bought a cheap Rhino one for about £45, being new to caravanning and not sure how good front covers are.  We are very pleased with it. It can be easily put on single handed and covers well.  No doubt for four to six times the price you get something special but we're happy with our cheap one.

We just give the front of the van a quick wash down to make sure any abrasive dust is cleaned off before putting it on.

Last time out it got soaked, but the weather was dry on arrival so we put it over the bonnet where the engine heat dried it in no time.  To wash it a cool wash at home and no spin worked perfectly, especially as all the straps unclip.

get your car fitted with a good set of mudflaps, makes a big difference to front of caravan. wouldn't use a cover myself.

have to agree, personal preference of course but time on site is too short, bad enough having to set up with water, electrics... before that first drink

If you van all the year round and you live in a sugar beet growing area a cover is a definite boon at harvest time.  I have mud flaps on the CRV and whilst they are ok in wet weather they are about as useful as a chocolate fire guard in mud.  The cover is the best accessory we purchased for the van.

We bought a cheap one off Ebay and it didn't fit properly and was a bit of a faf to put on. I looked at the expensive ones like Specialised but with our van being 10 years old they no longer made them.

We found a site on Ebay "gerryshops" who if you give him your make and model and 3 measurements will make one fit perfectly all for £100.

We are very pleased with it and just give the front of the van a quick wipe down with a damp cloth before fitting it.

So far its not been wet when we have arrived on site or home.

It takes minutes to fit and saves the front of the van from stone chips, tar spots and mud. I think its worth the 5 minute extra wait for my first drink!!

We have used the same cover (Protec) for 8 years now on 2 Elddis vans and would not travel without it fitted.

A simple wash/wipe down before fitting and then away we go. I am not sure as to comments about 'scratching' as when driving the wind seems to 'mould' the cover to the front.

We use the van all year and if its wet when we arrive we hang it in the awning until dry or in the garage if wet when we arrive home.

We did buy a front cover, but returned it because it was a poor fit.   Our decision then became one of, "why bother?"    The towcar cost quite a bit more than the caravan, and we don't have a front cover for that.  When towing, the front of the van is largely protected by the towcar in front of it.  When selling the van, buyer/dealer is less interested in a front cover having been used than in the price they will pay for the van.  So, in spite of protecting the van, the benefits of buying it, fiddling about with fitting and removal, all go in favour of the next buyer.  You can buy a hell of a lot of good wine for two or three hundred quid!
