I am considering purchasing a Front Towing cover for my new (to me) 2015 Lunar Clubman SB. I appreciate the protection they give, but I have some questions.


Which make would be best and at what cost?

How do you store them if you’ve travelled when it’s raining and it’s wet and dirty?

How easy are they to clean?

Many thanks in advance for your replies.

It's not so much the small muck thrown up by the tow vehicle wheels, but when the lorry in front throws up a brick that goes right over the tow vehicle!

Are you trying to tell  me that a cover will protect you against a flying brick?

There are a number of reasons why we have never bothered with one!  Firstly, the reports that they have caused scratching.  Secondly, it's just another thing to do when arriving on site after a (sometimes) long journey - I know someone said 3 minutes, but it always seems to take me at least twice as long as anyone else, having poor shoulders and knees etc.  Thirdly, it's extra weight in the caravan - may be not much, but it all adds up - that extra tea towel, let's take an extra hand towel each, we need to take the fans with us this time as it'll be warm in the van, what about the fairy lights - they're only in a small box  etc, etc.
