Maypole 4Ply Breathable Caravan Cover Green

Important

• Do NOT attempt to fit the cover in windy conditions.
• Do NOT use your caravan’s heating system with the cover fitted.
• Do NOT attempt to tow your caravan with the cover fitted.
• When opening and closing a zip, always ensure the cover surrounding it is straight and not too tight — this will prevent excessive strain and possible failure of the zip.
• Do NOT over-tension straps as this may damage your cover.
• To help prevent the natural growth of mould inside the caravan, regular ventilation and the use of a dehumidifier is recommended in long term storage.
• During long term storage it is recommended the exterior of the caravan is regularly cleaned to help minimize the possibility of mould growing between the body work and the caravan cover.

Before fitting your cover

• Remove, fold away or cover any sharp or fragile objects (such as aerials, guttering, wing mirrors, awnings and ladders etc.) on the exterior of your caravan to avoid damage to both them and the cover.
• Close all windows and roof lights etc.
• Ensure that the handbrake is applied, fridges and heaters are turned off and the corner jacks are down.
• It is preferable, but not essential, that your caravan exterior is dry before fitting your cover.
• Your caravan exterior MUST be clean. In the wind, the friction caused by dust and dirt particles can leave scratch marks.
• To avoid damage to the paintwork caused by the material flapping in the wind, make sure the cover is fastened properly — i.e. straps are adjusted and tensioned.
• Not recommended for use in extremely exposed locations or gale force wind.

Fitting your cover

Two people and the careful use of stepladders or a stable platform will be required as the cover is large, heavy and needs to be passed carefully over all sections of your caravan.

WARNING: If using stepladders or a platform you will be working at height and should follow carefully the stepladder / platform manufacturer’s safety instructions. You should not attempt to fit the cover from the ladder but only to use the ladder if required to assist people on the ground.

1. Open out the cover and pass over the roof, starting from the front and working towards the rear, lifting the cover carefully over roof lights and other protruding objects. If necessary due to a tight fit, unzip the zips. Note: The cover can be maneuvered using the straps.
2. Adjust the position of the cover and close the zips carefully.
3. Adjust the cover’s position to achieve an even fit around the front of the caravan.
4. If the cover is longer than the caravan, carefully pull the excess material to the rear of the caravan, carefully fold the excess material of the side panels around the rear of the caravan and secure with the two rear straps provided. Do not overtighten these straps as this will exert excessive strain on the zips.
5. Pass the side straps under your caravan and secure to the corresponding buckle on the opposite side.
6. Adjust all straps as required to give a good fit.
7. For side door access: unzip the middle zip and the closest corner zip to where the door is positioned. This provides quick easy door access without removing the whole cover. It may be necessary to release the rear straps to avoid excessive strain on the zips.

Care of your cover

• Allow the cover to dry completely before storing in the bag provided.
• Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry this cover. Remove dirt with a soft sponge and warm water. Do NOT use detergent.
• Do NOT expose this cover to sparks, flames or other sources of ignition.
