Pete-B Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi, Just thinking about the possibility of getting a full cover for my Bessie. Not really knowing anything about them or the pro's and con's I just wondered if anyone could pass on some recommendations and or advice. Thanks for that.

p0930 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have used a Pro Tec cover on my van since it was new. it keeps the van in pristine condition, causing no damage to paint or windows thanks to it's fleece lining . I heartily recommend one. Expensive but cheaper than a garage or storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really knowing anything about them or the pro's and con's I just wondered if anyone could pass on some recommendations and or advice. Thanks for that. I too used a protec cover on a previous van, agree, no damage to the van, but the cover can wear quite quickly on the corners and on any bits that 'Stick out', protec do (or used to) give you a square of spare material for 'patching up' , which i used a few times. We get very high winds here. Keeps the 'dreaded' green algae from forming on the roof. But beware of Roof 'Rock pools' of collected rainwater, they can be VERY heavy, I used beach balls on the roof, to always give a 'fall away' off of the roof. Can't speak for any other brand, and there are quite a few, some very cheap. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(lol) ...and I thought that property prices in 'deprived' :-) areas like Lincolnshire were depressed? Don't see the average Lincolnshire semi leaping up in value due to the addition of a garage, tho if you're paying business rates........ :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS I do pay business rates...........or rather I would be if George hadn't suspended them to help out us poor self employed oikes ;-)................although I suspect the £13 a month I would be paying, is unlikely to make much of a dent in the UK's debt mountain :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
