Default Carcoon - anyone use them?





Anyone use these for their Scooby's, or any other car for that matter?

Those carcoon thing have been around for years,If I had a decent enough car & a large enough garage I would have one,great for helping keep the tin worms at bay & if you went a bit mental you could sleep in it.Wouldnt think they are cheap tho,but if you have a valuable car your not going to mind.As it is for me I have a 13 year old Impreza that sits on the drive all year round at the mercy of the elements

It looks ideal. I have a canvas 'tent' (neighbor asked once if I did readings ), and while I have bubble wrapped the inside (double glazing ), and have heavy plastic on the floor, the inside still suffers some damp, which gets around the aluminium engine parts and causes mottling

I was thinking of a carcoon inside the tent

i had my old s1 rst in one in 1998 to 2000 and it was one of the best investments you will buy if you have a car you want to keep in good nick.Because of the constant airflow over the car it keeps rust away because it doesnt get chance to condensate.I paid about £400 years ago when they mainly made them for aston martin's

Would one of these work alright in a concrete garage, i dont put the car in the garage as i read somewhere that concrete garages are bad to store your car in.

surely being in a ventilated garage is no worse than being outside in the elements?
mine is in the garage at the moment,mainly to keep it out of sight while its not in use.
but it does keep the bad weather i.e. frost etc off it.

A carcoon would work very well in a garage, but if you haven't got any damp issues in your garage, you should be fine. The only problematic for cars garage types are prefab concrete types which have gaps all over the place, then you would need your carcoon
