VW Camper Van with Conversion Car Cover

We have extended our custom made cover range to include any style of VW Camper Van with conversion. The standard Type 2 will take a Stormforce, outdoor cover but if you have any conversions or modifications then we will need to individually make one for you.

You can have your choice of 4 colours and delivery is 10 to 14 days but the end result will fit perfectly. There is a certain amount of involvement from yourself to ensure the fit is correct. This is usually in the form of measuring sill to top of conversion and style / location of wing mirrors. We can even print your own logo and or phrase on the cover for a small extra charge. For more information see our Bespoke VW Camper Van with Conversion Car Covers Section.

Your Car Hotel

With the current gloom and doom in the housing market, I am reading more and more articles about indviduals being forced to live out of their car, after being forced out of their house. Many of these reports are from the US, where an individual blog post results in tons of replies from people who at one time have been forced to do the same. One guy even used a car cover to give himself some peace and quiet, while sleeping in his car...

Brrr its cold out there!

Its been pretty cold here in the UK over the Christmas and New Year Period. This has been reflected by strong onlline car cover sales dispite it being the holiday season. The Cold temperatures are set to fall as the weekend approaches with a low of -7 or -8 in central England on Saturday. This is cold for the UK, and a good cover will protect your car from frost, especially if it has a soft top.

Dispite these cold temperatures, experts are predicting that 2009 will be a scorcher, being one of the warmest years on record, so top up the air con, check the summer cooler in your radiator and prepare for a hot one!

Half Top Covers - Good or Bad?

We quite often receive calls from customers asking about Half Top Covers, normally from people with soft tops. We dont sell Half Top covers and there is a very good reason for it. Many people think they are easier and quicker to fit than complete covers, which they arent, due to the number of straps involved.
These straps to attach the Half Top to the car and usually run over the bodywork. This is a BAD idea.
a) Any straps that run over paintwork will scratch in time as they are abrasive.
b) Any serious amount of wind will cause the Half top to lift like a parachute as the wind gets under it, which defeats the object of putting something on the soft top.
c) Some are not soft top safe as waterproofing agent seeps through cover into soft top which can cause marks which are hard to remove.
Anyone seriously thinking about buying one of these should ask the right questions first. The above opinions and information are based on our experiences.

Did you know...

As well as selling fitted and tailored car covers we also have two other websites that reflect the other sides to our business.

The idea being you simply select your bike from a list of manufacturers and models and we supply the perfect fitting cover. No need for measuring or taking a chance on it fitting.
