Thought it was great at first but then noticed that when it rained and a pool formed on the top of the cover that it seemed to go away far faster than if it was evaporating.
Went and checked inside the caravan, pulled back the roof light and lo and behold the top of the caravan was wet and the water was soaking through tthe cover.
Are these covers supposed to be waterproof? or are they only water resistant?
To be honest I don't know, but I would certainly not be happy with a cover that was not 100% waterproof. I can't see the point of having it otherwise. It would probably do more harm than good.

Some people are just all show. I don’t mind that if the show is worth watching but ….
Those who sell these 'breathable' covers dont advertise the fact that they are not 'waterproof'. I suppose this is why some use tarpaulins. The problem is they so heavy.

To measure your caravan for a caravan cover, measure from the rearmost point of the outer body of the 'van to the point where the sloping front of the caravan meets the A-Frame.
------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
No they are not waterproof. The caravan should be though!!!!
They are only intended to keep the leaves and muck off. If they were waterproof then the van would sweat underneath and you would have even more damp problems.
