In the past I read on this forum about a cover that fits over the caravan wheel when you have the awning up. I have a skirt that goes across the caravan but droops down over the wheel and dont want to start drilling caravan. I cant remember the name of it and would really appreciate any information about this.

Thank you

I know what you mean. I have one for when my awning is up. You just need a figure of 8 piece and an extra bit of awning skirt. Just put the small piece upside down and make 2 holes in the corners for suckers. That way you don't have to drill holes in the van for press studs if its not already got them on.

I bought a draft stoppa and used it for frost time at weekend. Did the job, you attach it to wheel alloy with the Velcro supplied which also holds a clip that clips to the draft skirt holding it up. Cost me about 25 quid I think and very pleased with it.
