Our trailer tent 'lives' outdoors. Can someone please sugest a suitable cover that does not 'rot in the sun?
We have tried a well known branded silver coloured one, supposedly UV proof, bought online- this lasted three years. Tarpaulins bought locally seem to last about six months before they fall to pieces.
Everything we try fails. Any suggestions for a long lasting product ?

We used the one supplied by Pennine, with the FC ... lasted nine years and still in perfect condition.

You might be better posting this query in the Trailer tents section?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
