Putting a <span class="highlight">Caravan</span> Cover on a larger van

Exactly what the videos above said to do.

For some reason Landseka the videos would not open for me so I would not know, but what I suggested is what I had to do to place the cover over the van before I built the shed for the van.

I thought of a couple of mods as well but I will save them for another day unless a specific request is made.

Cheers, Bruce.

I lay it out open, fold the sides in and make a 'sausage' shape.

Tie a longish piece of rope (ski rope thickness will do) around the wrapped end, coil up the rest of the rope and throw it over the roof to the rear (or front of the van).
Make sure you can grab the rope end.

Stand on a ladder and push the 'sausage' onto the roof while a helper GENTLY pulls the rope. If doing it on your own, push the 'sausage' down the roof with a soft broom, pull the rope, push it again etc.

When the 'sausage' is covering the whole length, stand on the ladder and unwrap one side (back then front). Do the same on the other side.

(I can stand on my rear bumper bar and reach a reasonable way along the roof.)

Pull the sides down, centre the cover and tie it down.

Mine only goes up when I am at home and I am storing the van for a reasonable period.

Works for me.

Wind rubs holes in the soft material of ours. Forgotten how many times I've patched it inside when wear holes appear.
When it's too knackered to be used any more out it goes and won't be replaced.
