No doubt there are some polarised views on this one, but it would be interesting to hear opinions / reasons from Caravan owners who choose not to cover their vans whilst in storage. Also any problems encountered from those who have opted to cover vans but have had problems and if so, what they are/ were TIA Regards, Dave

We had a whole series of well built UK vans which were never covered and we never had an issue over a period of 23 years with four caravans. Our neighbour along the road always covers his. It might depend whether you use your van all year as we tended to do so to cover it might be a bit inconvenient but if you don't use it for a few months at least it will keep it clean.

In the winter months, when covers are wet and it freezes they can be very difficult to remove indeed they can stick to the article being covered. I would only cover a van if there was a real need e.g. stored under trees and I didn't intend to use it in the winter months.

Posted on 16/12/2018 09:45 by JVB66Have never seen the need to use one I would rather get the air and Sun?to the vehicle than have it in the dark inside,,and as we also now use our c/van all year, a quick rinse when on site keeps it clean
