Critisism of covers usually comes from people with pre conceived ideas about them and invariably have never actually used them.  If you think about it it is common sense - cover the van stop the rain/frost from damaging the joints on the caravan and reduce water ingress.  I've been using my cover for 4 years I clean and polsh the van at the start of the winter and when I take it off 4-5 months later it is still polished, there is no moss or algae on it and the inside is dry and condensation free.  As for abrassion as far as I can tell you there is none as yet. Draw your own conclusions PP.

Hi, My products are made to help and assist the caravaner at a price thats affordable and always have been, its an alternative to----Try putting a cover on in the wind or on your own---storage ----- washing the cover and drying it---there's a customer for  covers as well as for O/W---and it is Baileys that do recommend Pro-tec covers.

We have used the fenwicks cleaner and the black streak remover and were well pleased with the result, van is sparkling (yes I know its less than a year old but it was looking decidedly grubby) can you tell me what is done with the overwintering fluid?
