You may want to invest in a cover if you live in an area with harsh weather conditions, such as intense sunlight, heavy rain, snow, or strong winds. If your caravan is stored over the winter months, a cover can offer a level of protection, especially if your caravan contains timber in the build.

Keeping the caravan front damage-free with a towing cover also helps to maintain the condition of the caravan, preserving the caravan's value if you ever come to sell or upgrade your holiday home on wheels. What is Your Time Worth?

Measure the length of your caravan body (parallel to the ground) from front to back, including the gas locker but not the A-frame. Ready-made covers, or universal covers, as they are sometimes called, come in a range of sizes, and will secured by way of a strap underneath and an elasticated skirt.
