Its still in its box as our van needs a good polish first before i put the cover on.I have found, thanks to someone on here, Septone Fibreglass Restorer and Wax to be fantastic, Folks are a bit amazed when they find The Tardis is a 2009 model and looks near new.
This last run it was on road for 3 months, had 2 baths went thru heaps of rain and the water still beaded, so I'm happy with the stuff.
About $15 a bottle from BCF/Supercheap.

Excellent polish. Been using this one for years. Like!I have found, thanks to someone on here, Septone Fibreglass Restorer and Wax to be fantastic, Folks are a bit amazed when they find The Tardis is a 2009 model and looks near new.

Got one of these at BCF picked up the 22-24 to make sure it's big enough to take bike rack. It's a bit loose but more of a sun cover so all good. Material seems ok?
Rays outdoors also had on sale!
!
how hard was that to put on the 22' @Gilmorehappy
I used to hate the 17' cover not got one for the 22.68 not sure how I get it on not much space either side of van to get ladder in.

Good question! Had a 6 foot ladder either side, swmbo on one side and me on the other. My obliging neighbour, and Windsor rapid owner, took pity on @Willow4 and took over that side, and we had the thing on in about five mins!
no I have not been up on the roof and I am over 100kg so maybe I will not try I know the silverline/basestation they say you can walk on although no idea weights.
Nice neighbours We put the 17' pop top over with tent poles although the 22' its a lot higher

We started by using poles but I didn't want to rip the cover... Like everything I'm sure we'll get more streamlined with it
on the 17' (picture below) we put corners rubbers from Clark Rubber on the solar panel. have not done it yet on the 22'

We tried with poles, and all they did was bend.
Tried with SWMBO on one side and me on the other, but all that resulted in was an argument.
In the end, I fold the sides in to the middle, roll it up, and put it up on the back with a ladder, then roll it towards the front.
Manage to get it done by myself using this method, even though the 21 is huge, it seems to work OK
I do not think we can do poles with the full van we struggled with pop top
Been thinking do I bite the bullet and pay for a storm cover? The fact the sides go on separately might make it easier
Have though of a shade cloth although retaining wall to next door so drop is around 1 meter.
Not sure I have the room to get the poles in as well see picture we getting close to fence
The other side the caarvan door opens and we have around 10cms past it open wide

Metal roofs kits are relatively cheap. Sure you could build one for $1000 from your local roofing supplier. Lysaght website has pre engineered kits available too.
I know and the other side is house side so with the fence it be pretty enclosed.
Just poles and permits and $
Was that BCF cover the unearth one?
I am very grateful to have lovely neighbours . Our caravan is tall anyway and the way it sits on our drive makes it really tall. I'm not a fan of climbing up ladders and like it even less on a slopping driveway .
I agree, the thought never entered my head at the time we built the house otherwise I would having been saying "flat driveway please" .
