Many thanks

Emma

Hi

I have a SCC Protective caravan towing cover in green.  It just fits over the front of the van.  the slides fit into the awning channel (so the channels are always clean) and the main front cover just clips into the press clips with tensioning straps to ensure it fits snugly and securely.

This one is surplas to requirements. Pl call if interested.  Tel 0777 26 88 77 5

Regards

 

Ron

Good to hear, we got one thrown in by the dealer when we got our new (second hand) caravan. Been wondering if it was going to be worth fitting it.

read good reports on the pro-tec covers,dont have one myself though.double check you can view your side lights when fitted.believe they include a clear lens kit to do this.

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

I've not done it yet but the cover comes with a few clear pieces of fabric that you fit over the lights. The main cover has to be cut where these fit and as we have had no decent weather this job is going to wait until nearer towing time

I have today finally received my Protec towing cover- I was quoted 2 week delivery but it ended up taking 5. There was no pro-active communication from the Company, so this involved chasing up on two occasions with multiple excuses (demand from NEC/ staff illness/ machine breakdown)- each of which are understandable in a small business, but poor customer service in terms of communication are not what I expect from a Company that charges a premium price for its product. To cap it all, Ithe "Tear-Aid" patches that they sent are only sufficient to cover one of the lights. I called to ask them to send a second and they asked me to do a 15 mile round trip to go check I couldn't make it fit both. I do know my van in great deatail having only just spent Saurday meticulously cleaning and polishing it! They then told me they are out of stock of these patches which are the "lenses" mentioned in a previous post and they cannot tell me when they can send the extra set. I guess this means they will also not be able to supply other customers' orders meanwhile. In short, I feel extremely let down and not treated as a valued customer at all.
