Hi - I bought a slightly too large winter cover to accommodate Status aerial and heating vent.
What recommendations do you recommend for covering the Status and heating vent and how to stop wearing of cover or caravan roof?
Bucket and deep plant pot come to mind but how to restrain and protect?

I use a soft banket, chuck it over the aerial and the vent pipe then put the cover over as normal.

Last year i found the wind had been blowing through the straps that hold the cover down and wearing the cover so make sure they are tight.

We have never used a cover; however my parents are fine weather campers only, and put the cover on from end September to beginning of March.
They use a partially inflated airbed to protect the roof protrusions, and some pipe insulation cut in half on the corners to stop the roof straps from chafing the cover.

Not sure if this would work for everyone, but its a thought.

i would go with the bucket idea to prevent damage to the aerial.remove point first by unscrewing.

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