A good caravan cover is the easiest way to keep your van in top shape between trips. Left out in the open, your caravan cops harsh UV, rain, dust and tree sap that fade paint, perish rubber seals and age plastics well before their time. A quality cover takes that hit instead, so your pride and joy is ready to roll when you are.

Our premium range includes full-height caravans, pop-tops and camper trailer covers, with sizes to suit vans from 10ft campers right through to 24-26ft tourers. Not sure which size or style you need? Here's what to check before you order.

Choosing the right caravan cover

Match the style to your van

Pick the cover built for your setup: a full caravan cover for standard fixed-roof vans, a pop-top cover for pop-tops, or a camper trailer cover for camper trailers. One thing worth knowing: if you store your pop-top with the roof up, go for a full caravan cover instead to allow for the extra height.

Measure your body length, not the manufacturer's spec

Sizes are sold in length ranges like 16-18ft or 18-20ft. Grab a tape measure and measure the external body length of your van, since listed manufacturer measurements are often based on internal or travel length and can steer you wrong. Measure the body only, leaving out the drawbar, and include the rear bumper, ladder or spare wheel only if they need to sit under the cover.

If you're between sizes, go up

If your van sits near the top of a size range or falls between two sizes, choose the next size up. A slightly generous cover is easy to work with and can be cinched snug with the fitting straps. A cover pulled too tight strains the seams and makes the zips hard to use.

What to look for in a premium cover

Features vary by brand and range, so check the product page for the specific cover you're after. Premium covers in this range typically include:

  • UV protection: A UV-resistant roof panel protects your paint, seals and fittings from fading and cracking from the brutal Australian sun, especially if your van lives on the driveway year-round.
  • Breathable side panels: Breathable fabric lets moisture escape so you avoid mould, mildew and that musty smell during long stints in storage.
  • Water resistance: Roof panels are made to bead and shed water. Keep in mind that seams and stitching are left unsealed on purpose so the cover can breathe, so no fabric cover is 100% waterproof.
  • A secure, snug fit: Many premium covers feature reinforced corners, a heavy-duty skirt and cinching straps to stop the cover flapping in the wind. Loose fabric rubs and scratches cladding, so a firm fit matters.
  • Zippered access: Most caravan and pop-top covers include a side zip door so you can get into your van.

Frequently asked questions

What size caravan cover do I need?

Measure the external body length of your van (drawbar excluded) and match it to the size range, such as 18-20ft. If you're between sizes or near the top of a range, choose the next size up and use the fitting straps to cinch it snug. Include the rear bumper, spare wheel or ladder in your measurement only if they'll sit under the cover.

How do I measure my caravan for a cover?

Run a tape measure along the base of the van from the front body panel to the rear, leaving out the drawbar. Width and height are fairly standard across Australian vans, so body length is the key number. It's a common question, so if you're unsure, our team is happy to help you get it right before you order.

Are caravan covers waterproof?

The roof panel is water-resistant and designed to bead and shed water, but no breathable fabric cover is fully waterproof. The seams are deliberately left unsealed so moisture and condensation can escape, keeping mould and mildew away during storage.

Should I get a pop-top or a full caravan cover for my pop-top?

Choose a pop-top cover if you store your van with the roof down. If you store it with the roof up, go for a full caravan cover to allow for the extra height.

Can I use a caravan cover instead of a tarp?

A purpose-made cover is the better choice. Tarps trap moisture against your van and encourage mould, and they're a hassle to strap down. Caravan covers are shaped to fit, with breathable panels and vents that let your van air out.

How long do caravan covers last?

It depends on your climate and how much direct sun the cover sees, but quality covers typically last a few years and are backed by warranties from 1 to 4 years, depending on the brand and range. Keeping your van clean before fitting and making sure the cover doesn't flap will help it go the distance.

Do you deliver Australia-wide?

Yes. We ship daily from Sydney, Australia-wide, so you can get your van covered and ready for the next trip sooner.
