Protect your caravan through the off-season with this 4-Ply Breathable Caravan Cover — built to guard against mould, mildew, algae and UV damage during long-term storage.

The heavy-duty, non-woven polypropylene material is made up of 4 layers at 150gsm, and is breathable, letting moisture and condensation evaporate rather than getting trapped against your caravan's bodywork. A soft, non-abrasive backing is designed not to scratch your vehicle when fitted, and the material is bonded using an innovative rounded pattern that helps it resist stress and tearing under normal conditions.

High UV protection helps extend the cover's working life, and the material is water resistant to 800mm of hydrostatic pressure — "water resistant" means it repels water effectively, though it isn't fully waterproof.

A breathable hitch cover with an adjustable strap is included as standard. Full fitting and care instructions are provided with every cover.

Please note: do not include the hitch when measuring your caravan for sizing.

How to choose the right size caravan cover

Getting the size right is the single biggest factor in how well any caravan cover performs. Measure your caravan from the front of the A-frame (excluding the hitch and any hitch cover) to the very back of the bodywork, including bumpers and spare wheel carriers if fitted, then check this length against the manufacturer's size chart rather than your caravan's advertised model length — the two often don't match. A cover that's too small will strain at the seams and pull away from the bodywork in wind, while one that's too large will flap loosely, causing surface abrasion over time. If your caravan sits between two sizes, sizing up is usually the safer choice.

Fitting your cover correctly

A well-fitted cover does most of its work through good technique, not just good material. Always fit and remove a cover from a clean, dry caravan — trapping moisture, grit or road salt underneath is one of the most common causes of surface marks and mildew. Work from front to back, keeping the cover taut and centred, and make full use of any built-in straps, buckles or elasticated hems to stop the cover shifting or lifting in wind. Front and rear tie-down straps, where fitted, should be pulled snug but not overtightened, and wing mirrors or awning rails should be protected or padded if the cover doesn't have dedicated cut-outs for them.

Looking after your cover between uses

Breathable covers are designed to be left in place for extended periods, but they still benefit from an occasional check. Look in on the caravan every few weeks during storage to make sure the cover hasn't shifted, torn on a sharp edge, or gathered debris such as leaves or bird mess that can hold moisture against the fabric. If the cover needs cleaning, use only cold water and a soft brush or sponge — never a pressure washer, harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can strip the fabric's breathable and water-resistant coatings. Let it dry fully before folding away, and store it somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight when not in use to help it last for several seasons.

When a cover makes the biggest difference

A breathable cover earns its keep most during the off-season, when a caravan can sit unused for weeks or months at a time — protecting paintwork, seals and trims from UV fading, tree sap, bird droppings and the damp conditions that lead to mould and algae growth. It's worth removing the cover during very high winds if it isn't rated for storm conditions, and most owners find it easier to fit and remove a cover in dry weather rather than wrestling with a wet, heavy sheet. Whatever your caravan's brand or age, the same basic principle applies: a properly sized, well-fitted, breathable cover is one of the cheapest forms of insurance against costly bodywork and damp repairs down the line.
