Hi wonder if anyone can help me??

We have a canvas TT and panic everytime we go camping in case it rains as we do not have anywhere to open out the TT to let it dry if it gets wet.

We were wondering if anyone knows of a cover we can buy to go over the TT when it rains rather than just throwing over a tarpaulin and hoping it doesnt blow away!

Any suggestions gratefully received :-)

Thank you

Hi,

Thanks, this is what we usually have to do to be honest but were wondering if there was some sort of cover we could get to save us the bother.

Will still keep looking..........

Hi,

No you cant take it off im afraid

 A cover for a trailer tent - do you mean a tent? It would have to be like a Circus tent or what about one of those big party gazebos. I don't mean to be flippant but do you think you might be better off with a caravan as it's obviously spoiling your holidays.

Btw you can get the canvas off.....they all come off.

I think you need to be more optimistic and assume that you won't get rained on. That way you can enjoy your holiday without worrying. If you do have to pack up wet then deal with it when it happens.  

Thanks for all your help.....!

Was a simple question to try and make our lives a bit easier....Our TT is only a 2 birth raclet solena so really wouldnt need anything the size of a circus tent but hey glad you found the idea funny. 

Thanks for the info about the canvas coming off all TT's tho. Weve not had it long and didnt realise that was the case

Sorry mega - I know you don't think it's funny.

Raclet Solena is only a small TT so you will be able to get it dry in the house if you have nowhere to open it up. I have seen pics on here of peeps with tents over their bannisters, dining room tables, hung from hooks in the loft.

Have a good look next time you open it to see how it attatches - you may need to undo a few screws but its better than it spoiling your hols.  

I have seen tt's with a tarp cover,mainly in hot countries,you would need extra rings or klingons to peg it down,and it would be noisy in the wind,and may cause condensation unless you can keep it off the canvas with king poles,but it is do-able.

Still funny though.. Also,you don't have to get the canvas dry straight away,it can take ages sometimes,as long as it's aired  daily until you can dry it properly.
