caravan cover

Hello @brotys
We have a prestige caravan cover on our 20.63-1OB and it's a nightmare to put on. The easy part is taking it off.
It's defiantly a job for two. If its windy also give it a miss until the wind calms down. Trust me I found out the hard way:doh:
I have had smaller caravans covers and they were a piece of cake, but the cover/sale for the 20.63 is a handful.
We also purchased two steel poles from ranger out doors to help get some extra height when trying to drag the caravan cover across the vans roof. This is the hard part on getting past the air con, solar panels, TV Arial and the 3 air hatches. Most of the time so far I have had to get the ladder out and help drag it across the roof as well.
I still persist with the cover because it's keeping the Uv rays off the plastics and helping preventing the fibreglass from turning yellow.
Ps if anyone knows of a easier way to take a cover on and off a caravan please enlighten us lol hehehe:rofl:

Opps sorry I just realised that the cover is a Coast to Coast cover, the prestige was the previous cover that we had for the old van.

Its a bit daunting standing on a ladder though and dragging a wind sale across the roof of caravan, specially on a full height outback. I am not the best with heights specially on a ladder.:eek-53:
Its worth all the hassle I do agree @brotys nothing beats sliding of the cover and seeing a nice clean van ready for its next adventure.

Yeh - I have been attempting to put the cover on with two 3 meter tent poles but either the poles bend or the cover gets caught ontop of the van.
Therefore it’s just easier at the moment to get the ladder out and drag the cover across the top of the panda for now.
