Hello everyone,

me and my family have just bought our first ever caravan, we have previously been camping in a tent so decided to up grade and bought a sprite major 6td 2017. I’m look for advice on which towing cover to buy. Could anyone help. Thanks

    Sorry can't help but we've been towing for almost 40 years and have never (and won't) be bothered with one. However, they do seem to be gaining in popularity. Enjoy your new hobby.

    We have a Specialised Tow Pro cover. Came as part of the purchase 'show deal'. 

    this link may open at the exact product, filled in using details in your opening post:

    https://www.specialisedcovers.com/tow-pro-696/

    £199 inc std delivery.

    We use ours regularly, but not every time we tow. Particularly good to keep dead flies off the caravan front, mud, road salt etc. We are in season 4 with it. Easy to fit single handed.

    'Defender' towing cover. £45 from Amazon. Ten minutes to put on on my own. Does the job. Used four times, so far so good.

    Had a specialised cover for 4 years with our current van and just ordered another for our new van.  Wouldn’t be without it. 

    Takes less than 2 minutes to put on by myself
