Hi Garry, i had the same problem looking for a cover for my new Riva destiny,after searching loads of different websites without success, i decided to buy a breathable caravan cover from towsure. The smallest one they sell is (10 to13 foot) and cut off the bottom section leaving enough to hang past the lower edge of the camper and leaving the three straps attached to anchor it down it is also long enough to cover the towhitch, there are zips on each corner of the cover that will need to be stitched or glued before cutting the bottom from the cover. For £57.00 well worth the time taken.

Sorry £75.00. Not £57.00

We bit the bullet and bought the real thing. I have to say I am pleased with the quality and fit but the price is excessive.

Our P Pullman lives under a £20 tarp from Screwfix. The sheet is so big it is folded double and secured with polypropelene cord also from Screwfix.

This keeps the unit dry and clean whilst allowing air to circulate. This is the third year we have used this and it keeps the unit cleaner than putting it in one of the garages.

We purchased a winter cover from the pennine website.  It cost £159.00 + postage and packing.  We received it within 5 working days.

We had approached Barrons who said there would be a six week wait, and it was going to cost more than pennine.

You may be able to get one via ebay, they come up every so often.

Hi there guys we purchased a car cover from argos for £14.99 had it on all winter and took it off today. The baby is as good as new........only down fall is you need to use a ball of string to tie it down, but it saved us paying out megga bucks........

I opened our Cruiser today for the first time in 11 weeks. We bought it in October and only got away twice before we had to put her away for Winter.

She has to stay outside and I took the advice offered on here re: using flowerpots to elevate the transport cover for ventilation and a £9 tarp from B&Q over it. We took out all mattresses, cushions, curtains and inner tents and put in one of those moisture absorber things.


Thank you X 100!!!!   I opened her up today and she was as fab as when we closed down in November! Not even the slightest of damp, no fusty smell, nothing!


I am all excited now and filled with glee at where will go in her this year. My best purchase ever!
