Hi folks.

Can anyone advise me on caravan covers?

Im on the brink of buying a towing cover and a full cover for when in storage. Protech seem to be the industry leader from what I can see on the web. A bit pricey but like the age old saying "you buy cheap, you buy twice".Im just wondering if anyone can confirm that these types of covers are to the high standard that protech promise and if they are money well spent.

I have a 2016 swift challenger 590.

As always, any input is appreciated.

Don't know about protech but use one called 'specialised' which I recall was about £120. Real easy to fit and does the job. Offers great protection when towing.

Regarding the front cover if you do any long distance trips I would recommend getting a cover with zips so that you can gain access to the gas bottles when parked up for the night.

We have a Specalised cover, it's excellent.  I can fit it in a couple of minutes if I'm alone.  We have done approx 15k miles in the last couple of years with no dramas

we have both Protec towing cover and full size cover and use them regularly on our unicorn Cadiz 3. Full size has a plastic panel which allows the solar panel to charge the battery all winter long. Very happy with both products and content with the quality. Both are very easy to put on and take off.
