Hi all,

Just bought a cover today for my caravan.

Now I need to get it on whilst its a nice dry day (although a tad windy). My van body is only 14ft so its not a big van.

Just wondering how you get the cover on. Do you start at back or front? Do you need ladders?

any advice appreciated

thanks

well- we tried and failed.

We just couldn't work out which way round the cover is supposed to go. It is a Maypole cover and the instructions are useless. It has 2 zips on the cover which I assume from the photos on the box they are both supposed to be at the front of the van. However there is a label on the inside of the civer which says 'front'. If this is the front then the cover aint going to fit.

We will try again next week if it is dry.

If anybody has a Maypole cover can you please tell me which part of the van the two zipped sections should be?

thanks for that.

it took us 1 and half hours, lots of arguments and naughty words and then we gave up!

hopefully next week will be better. You wouldn't think putting a cover on could be so complicated.

Lay cover on floor. And open out flat.
Fold each side into the middle twice.
Roll into a sausage from front to back.

Lay cover onto the roof at the rear
Unroll to the front and drop the sides down.
Easy with a little practice.
I use a step ladder.
