Looks like my TT will have to stay out in the cold this coming winter as the garage Im using will not be available.

So to take a few precautions, I am planning to either purchase direct or have a suitable breathable cover made for it.

Does anyone know of a manufacturer/supplier, I know they are made for caravans but not seen any for trailers etc.

Any help appreciated

Andy

Hi Andy

How about making your own winter cover? Try this place for fabrics, they supply waterproof breathable fabrics.

Why does it have to be breathable ? - If you are only covering the TT and not wrapping it up completely - there will be air getting in from underneath. - We are new to this game but it seem logical to me. Please explain why I may be wrong.

Try Gardners of Wakefield they make covers to order, so may be worth a phone call to see if they can give you a price

Ive done a bit more digging on this and have found out that conway and cabonon make storage covers to suit their TT's but apparently Raclet and Trigano don't, and will have to consider getting one made specially.

Wendy sue, in answer to your 'Q' my thoughts on breathable is to allow, as you say air to circulate and vent thus reducing damage from moisture and condensation.  Yes, I suppose one could use a tarp and allow it to ventilate by placing either pieces of timber or something similar to maintain a gap all around for air to circulate which I'm sure would be the next option if I cannot get a breathable made for an acceptable price.
