  • Hey everyone!
    In this video we show you how we fit our Specialised Covers front towing cover to our caravan before each journey. We thought We would do this because We’ve seen various posts on social media where people haven’t quite fitted them right, so maybe it might help someone! We are in no way suggesting this is the correct way, but it has worked for us since we have had the cover and it has kept our caravan lovely and clean when we arrive on site, and free from stonechips and damage. Please note also, it was very windy, so do excuse Aaron fighting with the cover, and all the noise 🤣🤣
    We hope you enjoy watching!

    Looks like the one we are getting, so this is helpful, although it doesn’t look quite as straightforward as I’d hoped! Thanks for taking time out to show us ‘how to’ your way... 👍🏻 😉

      Hey Rog, thanks for watching, it probably doesn’t look as straight forward as it could do due to my poor demonstration haha, it is easy once you’ve done it and I normally whip in on myself in 5 mins 👍🏻

    Excellent video Aaron. We have the same cover and you have taught me a lot easier way by putting the zip side in the top of the awning rail and pull down. I will try that next weekend. Thanks buddy! 👍👌🦖

      Hey Gareth, thank you so much for watching and your kind comments! I thought it was a rather atrocious video to be honest so if it has helped you then that is fab! I don’t think it’s the way I should be done but that is what I’ve found easiest 👍🏻

    Hi My cover is a different make to yours but in order to prevent it coming into contact with the ground I open the bottle box lid(upward opening like yours) and then lay the cover across it. I can then fit the straps of this (Gadlane) cover to the awning rail at my leisure, lowering the lid when the cover is in a stable situation. I thought that this may possibly be a useful thought for you, or perhaps others.

      I do wish I’d have rewatched this video before I did mine. Didn’t know it isn’t meant to touch the ground? Graham

    • @CaravanChitChat
      @CaravanChitChat  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The furry part inside that is against the caravan shouldn’t really touch the ground as it may pick up grit etc which could the rub against the van. I haven’t watched your vid yet, but will do when I’m home tomorrow 👍🏻

    You mention you've had some marks on the side of the van from the strap, I got the same marks on my 1st trip out where I didn't tuck them in, what did you use to get rid of the marks? Cheers Jon 👍

    • @CaravanChitChat
      @CaravanChitChat  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Jon, I just use the waterless wash spray in the video which normally works fine, but I have also got some Autoglym Super Resin Polish that I use if it doesn’t want to budge!

      Hey Vanessa. Unfortunately one doesn’t come without the other. If you put the cover on with the van even slightly dusty, you’ll very quickly end up with scratched windows and front panel, I’m pretty sure people would rather me be honest about that

      @@CaravanChitChat understandable but some of the video could have been saved by merely saying that the front of the caravan needed cleaning before fitting cover. Most of videos on TH-cam are full of useless natter.
