Has anyone got or used the Draught Stoppa especially for a double axle caravan? I read about it in the Caravan magazine and it looks a reasonable piece of kit to keep draughts out from around the wheels. I have previously used a piece of awning skirt connected
to the wheel arches of the wheels without much success. Any advice/comments would be welcome

    Hi paulgodd.

    I've had a draught stopper for a couple of years now and used it without any problems. Mines a single axle but I’m sure it will work just as well on a TA.

    They seem a lot of money for a Velcro band and a piece of corrugated plastic board but in my opinion it was worth it. Its quick to install looks neat and most importantly stops the draught.

    Hi Paul, just a thought, have you looked at the Isabella wheelarch cover? I bought one last year at the February show and used it last year. I found it very good.

    We have used the Draught Stopper for 3 years and find it reasonable fitting.

    Before that we used suckers which had hooks but bot as good at stopping draughts.

    Thanks for your replies. I used to use suckers and hooks but they never stayed on. I did buy an Isalbella whelarch cover but it didn't fit on my Vanmaster as there was a trim on the wheel arches. I think I will go with the Draught Stoppa
