Front Towing Covers

Hi All

We are debating as to what caravan front towing cover is right for us? Looking at what's out there it comes down to either Specialist Covers or Pro-Tec covers! It seems these 2 are the only real contenders so was interest to learn everyone thoughts on front towing covers in general.

Do you first think they are worth the money?

Do you think they do their job well i.e. Keep all the rubbish and dirt off the front of your van?

Do the armored one's actually work better as you do pay £399 for them?

Do the cheaper one's at £299 and £199 work just as well although you don't get access to the locker?

Should we just go for bottom of the range at £199 or lower just to keep the dirt off?

What;s the verdict here! how many of us actually use them all the time when we are moving the van around? Do we get fed up of putting them on and taking them off?

Here's another question! Can they stay on while in winter storage while under a full caravan winter cover or will this damage the van is some way i.e create more moisture inside the van?

So these are just some of the questions we are thinking about before rushing out and buying one! Your thoughts on the matter would I'm sure help us to decided as there is a lot of know how out there and there is certainly caravanners which have far more experience than us and have probably been there and done that!

An interesting discussion we feel and one that I think would help many new caravanners before they buy?

Await any and all comments on the subject

Take Care all out there!

Yes we have seen a few and found when asking they don't need to be removed for short stays as access to both windows & lockers is just a zip pull away! and I suppose it saves time removing and putting back on?

I think that's just being lazy, as everyone on the post about front covers say it takes 2 mins to fit and remove.

a good set of mudguards on your car helps somewhat to keep front of caravan clean. can i ask what do people do when they get to site and it was heavy rain all the way and the cover is full of mud and rain. is it not like a tent/trailer tents that you should dry first before putting away and if weather not good enough to dry it could be folded up filthy and wet for a week or more. as you can guess i have not got or will not get a tow cover. these will not protect the window if half a house brick or a lump of 3x2 come off a skip wagon and bounced up and hit you. do you cover the car to keep it clean.
