Caravan towing cover – Which should you buy?

If you Own a Touring caravan you will want to keep it in the best possible condition.
Unfortunately during towing your caravan is susceptible to damage from stone chips and wind blasting.
The wind picks up abrasive material such as sand and grit, which at speed will act like sandpaper on the front of your caravan. This eventually leads to paint fade and your glass/polycarbonate windows becoming opaque and dull.
Fortunately, there is one simple solution to this and that’s a caravan towing cover.

Custom versions of caravan towing covers which are specific to your caravan can be extremely expensive

Don’t worry aftermarket caravan towing covers are available at much lower price points, We’ve put together this really short guide to ensure you get the right caravan towing cover for your caravan.

Caravan Towing cover – what to look for

Ensure you purchase a good quality cover. The last thing you want to happen is you to be traveling down a motorway and your caravan towing cover tears loose. This could cause a major accident for any unfortunate drivers behind you.
Ensure the cover you purchase has good quality straps with rip stops and ripstop stitching.

I have seen examples of front caravan towing covers causing more damage than they save due to poor fitting. Ensure the caravan towing cover you purchase covers the strap buckles so they can’t rub against your caravan.

An additional feature that can be very useful is removable windows. these are usually available on the more premium aftermarket covers. These covers save you the hassle of having to remove the full cover to allow light in through the front window. This is ideal if you look to make multiple stops on the way to your destination.

Ensure the caravan cover will fit. The Covers remain in place by securing to the rails usually used for fitting of your awning.
Aftermarket caravan covers are elasticated to ensure a snug fit and use straps to take up any size difference.
