Best motorhome covers

[Sianna]

Hi, just bought our 1st motor home prior to COVID-19 lock down- Great! Alas I'm sure our time will come!

As I have now put the motor home into storage until lock down is over, I need to purchase a cover for it for protection from the elements whilst in storage.

Its a Swift Escape 696 if that helps.

Look forward to your recommendations

I think many on here will suggest no cover but I have been very happy with my Specialised one.

A coat of wax is the best protection!

 

[AJM2]

I do that as well!

Why does it need a cover? I know it is a Swift but surely not leaking already

If you do put a cover on the van has to be spotless clean or if the cover moves slightly with the wind your get little scratches on the van, especially the windows.

I bought a cover for my Bessacarr 560, then bought an E582. Same shape, door in same place, etc, but 70cms longer (at the back).
“Please Mr Protec, can you let in another 70cms to the rear of the cover and put in rear side zips?”
“Absolutely not, not even for another £250, no chance!”. So I had a small company do it - for £250!
Would I recommend Protec, NO!

I have an unused Protec one for sale .
Sod all chance of getting it to you in lock down though

Used with care we have found Maypole covers work well & last about 2-3 years - more info. & photos here https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/cover-or-not-to-cover.211836/#post-3675426

Could you not cut it into narrow strips and send them by letter post!

I have one that fits all sized motorhomes, made from Emperor Cloth, in whatever colour you want. It has all the zips and openings in just the right place and all the intelligent people says how nice it looks. Including postage I am happy to take £90

Hi there, any particular type of wax? , do you just apply it to the rubber parts, trim joinings, etc?. Mike

Not worth the risk, a cover is likely to do far more damage than leaving it to the elements.

i just use normal car wax as it makes it easier to get the grim off next time you wash it. I use Autoglym but there are loads of others around

 

[grennanM]

Thanks, car wax it is so with plenty of elbow grease

Drive past motorhome dealers and see what covers they use even on brand new shiny mhs
