I know this is an old chestnut,but as we have bought our first caravan,we are unsure of what size of cover to buy as our 'van is in storage and would like to cover it over winter.

   We have bought a Lunar Clubman 400/2,which has a 4.00mtr approx.13'6" length. There is an aerial on the roof,which from other posts,I think the pointed centre can be removed.We were wondering how much longer a cover would be best to buy to allow full coverage of the caravan body including what would be left of the aerial on the roof.

 Once again appologies for raising what is an old topic,but if you don't ask you don't find out,and the advice and help we have received from other members in the past has always be of a great help.

Measure the length of the body and buy the closest match.

Ours is 18'6" and the 19ft cover fits very well.

We bought a grey towsure one and its rubbish, Not lasted long at all.

The straps fell to pieces inside a year and the cover is not following suit.
I think its 3 years old.

Utter rubbish.

If your van is 13ft6 I'd go for a 12ft - 14ft cover. Should be plenty big enough. I have a green Maypole one for my Elddis wisp 350/2.
