Our 2006 Topaz has spent all its life outdoors and I kinda feel its time she had some winter TLC. Can anyone recommend a suitable winter cover for this T5 LWB camper.

Lots of controversy here John, but I think the majority view is that you are better off without them.

Damp and paintwork chafing are two issues - have a search and see what you can find.

Gromit, that’s the 2nd time today I’m in complete agreement with you.

I had an Eriba Puck caravan for 3 years and this question was often asked on that forum.
The general feeling from those in the know was to not bother as they generally caused more harm than good.
