camper storage covers
« on: October 30, 2016, 10:45:15 AM »
Gday all
I'm after a cover to keep the weather of my camper as tarping it up is getting to be a pain in the ...e!
Weve got a modcon forward fold (ff1).
Has anyone bought, or had made, a cover for when the camper is in storage? Would prefer one for a modcon but one for a forward fold would still probably work.
Thanks

I uses a 'Samson' brand camper cover and it works well. I bought the bigger size so I can cover the whole camper, I use a bucket over the coupling to stop it tearing. It works well, lasts a couple of years then the UV kills it. About 5 mins to fit/remove.

I saw an thread only this morning / yesterday that cross-referenced an old thread where someone had got hold of several canvas advertising posters & was using them to cover his CT.

The best bit was that they were beer ads, so he had a massive photo of a stubbie!

Can't find the thread now  :-[

Found it!  :D

have a look at Blue Water Campers. They have one made from the same stuff as ute covers. It's not cheap but should last a long time. It might fit your camper.

And 2 years on it's still going strong with no noticeable deterioration. No tears or anything. Just fold the corners around and clamp in to the drawbar and rear bar with 4 F clamps. Never moves or flaps in the wind. Never noticed any moisture or condensation under it either.

From memory I got 2 for $80 from a party hire place on eBay. They used them as ground sheets for jumping castles, etc.
