A barn.
Sorry not being faciesous but it's how I store mine, it still gets dirty and covered in pigion phoo but it just means a good wash at the start of the season and normal washing every trip. The major problem with caravan covers is they move with the wind and chaff the paintwork, no matter if they are breathable or not. On that subject I have found breathable = not waterproof so the van gets wet permiateing the cover and the cover stops it drying. Like putting a wet car in a garage it stays wet. I wash mine using propiety caravan cleaner every time and wax it once a year with auto glym resin polish, have no problem cleaning it at start of season, ladder used to clean roof and feed through brush on end of hose to get the worst off then use the cleaner by dipping the brush into a bucket of wash solution before rinsing off with hose. When I baught it the roof had not been cleaned for4 years, using my method it took one wash to bring it back to an acceptable standard. Paul. |

You wax it with SRP???!! You polish with SRP and id recommend you either use AG aqua wax or HD wax or similar equivalent sealant Super resin is not a wax no matter what way you dress it up |

Then use an over winter emulsion over the clean caravan. This collects the filth and washes off easily in the spring.
With a cover it too tempting to leave the caravan all winter and forget your monthly airings. D |
