OK, so strictly speaking I'm not asking baout styling, but it seemed the most appropriate place to ask this question (maybe)

It's getting cold now and I don't have a garage for my baby. I was filled with tears today seeing her with a few days worth of dirty rain and a couple of cm's of snow ontop of that! Poor thing.

Where can I buy a DECENT cover for it, to keep the elements off when parked. Preferably either a weighted one, or one that can be tied down (to the wheels?) so it doesn't blow away in the wind.

Thanks guys n gals... b careful on those icey roads, already heard about one worker ditching it this morning!

Question

Also be careful using one of these, as there have been issues recently where caravan owners have paid a lot of money for covers, and found that
1. the cover caused degradation of plastic bits on the 'van. Something to do with the type of plastic it's made from, and
2. unless your car is ABSOLUTELY perfectly clean when you put the cover in place, it can cause scratching in the paintwork as the cover moves, even slightly in the wind. And we all know how tough Scoob paintwork is, don't we............?
