Hi, we have ordered a new cover for our van and was just wondering what you do to protect the flue and aerial (ours is the old style saucer type). We can remove the spike but the specific sponges are very expensive.

Thanks

Thanks for that, hooby suggested mixing bowls! How do you think you can stop them moving on the roof?

We don't use a cover any more as we decided it was too much hassle for something that is made to stand outside.

We used to take the aerial off altogether and removed the flu vent. They just pull off.

Hi all

There was an advert in the caravan club magazine about this

The things they had looked like large pipes made out of foam rubber that slotted over the aerial and the flue

Sorry ,but I don't have the magazine anymore or I would give more details

Maybe this could assist

Thanks, seen those Phil but was hoping for a cheaper option

So many other things to buy atm

Cheaper options can cost more in the long run......Micheal how do you prevent the bucket scratching the roof if the cover moves in the wnd?

It was slightly damp after an earlier shower but its on now and looks much more of a fit than the cheap off the shelf item we last tried.  With the wife's help it took about 20 minutes ( I had already covered bits that needed covering).
