Cover for demountable

Anyone got a cover for their demountable - for protection when it's not in use? We can't get our Tischer under cover so it seems the logical option when we're not using it.

Thanks, Chris

I've given up trying to make one fit,
although a standard caravan cover of about same length will 'do' it seems unless you have an almost featureless roofline without
satellite dish/solar/skylight or luggage rack then rain water finds a way of pooling up there (ask Finade)

Oh dear, theyr'e a bit like awnings and need to only go away dry or they suffer.
I normally roll-out the sunshade on the side a couple of times over Winter to make sure it nice and dry, a cover though shouldn't be much, the one I tried (and ultimately binned) was a silver thing with I think three belly straps passed beneath camper and back up to buckles, couple of zips vertically in rear corners for access to door was only £30 something,

would have been OK on a smooth roofline camper otherwise you get the rooftop pool finade had a picture of

That's a shame. Not to worry - we'll keep looking.

usually belly strap arrangement, a par of handy zip rear corners for access but *might* be worth placing a box or something inside it to raise/tent the centre of roof a little to create pitch & aid run-off


and be sure and only put away if perfectly dry over summer
