Oh behave, you've got such a filthy mind, I am talking about the TT cover over the winter.

Couldn't find any other thread on this, but apologies if it's old news.

I heard somewhere that it helps keep things dried out if the top cover is removed during the long lonely winter months when it ain't being used. It is stored in a very warm dry sealed garage and it was packed away in extremely dry conditions.

Any thoughts on this? I would rather leave it covered as it's less hassle.

Advice as always much appreciated.

Cheers

Graham

Would worry about mice getting in, perhaps, without a cover...

i would even put a light cover, dust sheet or similar over the transit cover, keeps all the dust and whatever from pitching , easier to shake it away that having to wash off the accumulation when you resume your travels

Have you never seen a mouse squeeze under a door? Mice will get in anywhere they want. A cover, whilst a great idea will make absolutely no difference whatsoever from a rodent deterrent perspective, unfortunately.

Thanks folks some good thoughts there. Reckon I'll put it back on. Nobody wants a naked camper in their garage over the winter.

Oh... Shame about the mice, BlueSky. Ignorance is bliss!
