Pelicanpete Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Does anyone know who supplies protective wheel/tyre covers to protect the tyres from sun damage, like the ones that are commonly seen on American RVs in the states? They're made out of vinyl fabric and slip over the wheels when parked. Useful for hot sun-baked climates! All I can find in the UK (via eBay and Google) are the type of wheel covers that cover the spare wheel hung on the back of 4x4s. Thanks to all.

BGD Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Why not use dustbin bin bags? Seriously. Loads of the locals here in Spain just slip two bin bags over the tyres on the sunny side of their MH when parked up in the summer. Over here you can get them in greay as well as black....the grey ones are apparently better for blocking the sun/heat. Do the job perfectly, then use 'em for any waste when you move on, and they take up no space/weight on their roll whilst travelling. Job done. That'll be a bottle of Bailey's please for Best Idea Of The Day. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I beleave that silverscreens used to make them, and that could also apply to taylormade as well. Worth a phone call as they may not show them on their websites. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelicanpete Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 BGD: Thanks for your suggestion but, alas, bin bags ain't quite my style. Chas: That's a bit more like it. I have contacted Taylor Made by email but Silver Screens are hiding their email address under a bushel. I'll call them by phone tomorrow. Thanks for both suggestions. Meanwhile: If anyone else has any other 'leads' I'd be grateful to receive them. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatterdog Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Have you tried any of the RV type outlets they usually have such things. I know that one of them that have a stall at the warners shows had them at Lincoln and Pickering. Not sure if it was called star spangled banner , also east coast leisure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niton Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I bought two purpose made wheel covers from Taylormade at the Peterborough Show and they work very well. I can't remember the exact price but I think it was around £10. Taylormade also make Insulated window covers and advertise in 3M most months. Tel: 01484 661918 I have no connection with Taylormade just a satisfied customer. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
