Fitting Our Caravan Towing Cover

- 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!

Thanks 🙂
Nice towing over, looks easy enough to put on. Cheers 👍
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 👍🏻
@@CaravanChitChatno worries mate. I definitely looks an easier way than I do it!! 👍
As a window cleaner this really hurt to watch the windows being done 😂 but new subscriber anyway 👍🏼
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.
Nice Vid, very technical! looking foreward to more extreme technical adventures in furture? oh, Caravan supplied link watched some of your stuff, liked it, So subscribed.
Ahhh thanks Bryn, very kind of you to say! Not sure about technical but hopefully it might help someone! Thanks for watching 👍
Hi ya u put cover on the same way as I do I normally slide the left sleeve in rail to the top then get the right hand one slide it in
rail to stop making sure it don't touch the ground then past it over to other side and zip up and clip up and done I think they good tow cover I had winter cover as well that was made to measure fits van perfect very please with them I would reckon mend them cheers .kev
Kev Andrews thanks for watching Kev!
Really nice cover I much prefer specialised Covers We’re hopefully getting one soon so it was a timely video. Thanks Graham..
Ahh thanks Graham! Glad it has been of some use 👍🏻
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
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 👍🏻
Can you leave on while the van is in storage?
wow you live in a far windy part of Nottingham than us
Hi, great video, what was the name of the stuff that you cleaned the windows with??
Thanks Angie! I cannot remember that brand but now I use DrySparkle 👍
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 👍
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!
Probably a good video if I could have heard what you were talking about 😅
I like to keep people in suspense 🤣
did you tow the car with the bmw serie 3?
Yes we tow the caravan with the 3 series, it’s been a great towcar
Thought it was how to fit towing cover not how to clean the van
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.
@@vanessablain6662 we shall look forward to your YouTubing masterclass then Vanessa 😘
