Whether you’re hitting the open road in your motorhome or parking up your caravan for the season, keeping your vehicle protected from the British weather is essential. Rain, frost, UV rays, and even falling leaves can take their toll over time — which is where high-quality covers come in.
At UK Custom Covers, we offer both Motorhome Covers and Caravan Covers — each designed specifically for the unique shape and requirements of your vehicle. But what’s the difference between them, and which one should you choose? Let’s take a closer look.
Caravan Covers: Designed for Stationary Protection
Caravans are usually stored for longer periods, especially during the off-season. That’s why a Caravan Cover or Caravan Top Roof Cover is built to protect against long-term weather exposure and static storage conditions.
Key Features:
-
Full or Top-Only Coverage: Choose from full caravan covers for all-round protection, or roof covers for easy fitting while still guarding against rain and dirt.
-
Weather Resistance: Made from durable, waterproof, and breathable materials to prevent damp and mould.
-
Shape-Specific Design: Tailored for caravans with angular fronts and flat sides, ensuring a secure, snug fit.
-
Ideal for Long-Term Storage: Perfect for keeping your caravan clean and dry over winter or when stored at home.
Best for: Owners who store their caravan for extended periods and want reliable protection from weather and debris.
Motorhome Covers: Built for Versatility and On-the-Go Protection
Motorhomes are designed to be driven regularly, so their covers must be easy to fit and remove — especially for those weekend getaways and spontaneous road trips.
Our Motorhome Top Covers and Full Motorhome Covers – Grey are purpose-built for these active travellers.
Key Features:
-
Quick-Fit Design: Lightweight and simple to install without ladders or fuss.
-
Roof Protection Focus: Top covers guard against UV damage, sap, bird droppings, and water pooling on the roof — where damage is most likely to start.
-
Aerodynamic Fit: Designed for curved motorhome bodies with skylights, vents, and aerials in mind.
-
Ideal for Frequent Use: Perfect for those who take their motorhome out year-round and want a balance between protection and practicality.
Best for: Motorhome owners who need reliable weather protection without the hassle of removing a full-body cover before every trip.
