What size cover do i need for my caravan?

The size of caravan or motorhome cover that you will need can cause some confusion.

People are confused with overall size, shipping size etc.  the easiest method to use so that you know that you will get the correct caravan cover or motorhome cover size is to measure it.

In the diagrams below we show where you need to measure your caravan or motorhome so that you get the cover that fits best.

If the cover that you are about to purchase is in between sizes then there may be a tendency to go larger but this would be a mistake.

The best way would be to go a size smaller.  This is a little bit counterintuitive, but if you go bigger, then you may have lots of material left over.

This makes it harder to secure and a caravan cover that’s blowing about in the wind could cause scratches to your caravan.

So let a take a look at some caravan covers

Caravan Cover Buyers guide

 

There are four main areas of concern when choosing a caravan cover.

  • Materiial
  • water proof
  • Uv Protection
  • easy to fit

Caravan cover material

 

The material used needs to be breathable. Most of the caravan covers reviewed in this article are breathable and some are made up of several layers.

This is to give a scratch resistant surface at the bottom layer and waterproof at the top.

The caravan cover need to be breathable so that any moisture can escape to save mold building underneath the cover.

Uv protection

In the UK we always think about weather protection being the wind snow frost and rain.  However protection from the sun is just as important. Particularly if you may be leaving your caravan in France or Spain at any point

The sun can dry out the paint and bake on bird dropping once again causing paint damage.  The Ultra violet light from the sun can also cause both paint and graphics to fade.

Easy to fit

 

Fitting the caravan cover is another important aspect of fitting a caravan cover.  Many covers require two people and care and a suitable ladder should be taken when negotiating tear drop Areals and vents on top of the caravan.

 

Types of caravan cover

 

The main types of caravan cover are :

Full caravan cover

This covers the whole caravan.  Some of the caravan covers reviewed here include a free hitch cover.

Top only caravan cover

This just covers the roof of the caravan where most of the bad weather will sit.  It doesn’t cover the sides of the caravan. This can mean that you get the benefit for protection with the risk of scratching the windows. Wind can be a problem with this type of caravan cover

Hitch cover

As mentioned above some of the caravan covers reviewed here come with a free hitch cover.  You can purchase a hitch cover on its own. This will protect the more mechanical parts such as the stabilizer, hitch lock, hand break and Jocky wheel.

Towing cover

This type of cover is intended to save the front of the caravan from stone chips and dirt whilst being towed behind your vehicle.

Motorhome cover

The motorhome cover is the same as the full caravan cover, intended for motorhomes.
