Is there a way to stop them leaking as I think it's from standing water. I've even looked at storing on an angle but still some small bits of water getting through. There's no obvious damage or holes

I always had the jockey wheel as high as possible to stop any water collecting, it just ran off the back end.

A lot of people on here put footballs under the cover to prevent the water pooling.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!

We do the same as bluexpo97 and use the jockey wheel to tip the camper. We also put some boarding under the cover over winter to made a flat top ,so no water sits on the cover.

I always thought storage covers were meant to be breathable so would possibly leak a little, it is the transit cover that sits underneath the storage cover that is meant to be waterproof

It only came with one cover. It's 27 years old. I'll try the football and tilt the opposite way...worse case I'll use a thick tarp
