Best Caravan Covers Australia
ADCO 18'-20' Olefin HD Caravan Cover
Runner Up
This is one of the best caravan covers on the market today.
Everything about this ADCO cover screams quality and convenience. The side panels are polypropylene. However, the top section is made from Olefin, an enhanced version of the same material, increasing UV resistance.
ADCO claims that this caravan cover will block over 99% of damaging rays. Meanwhile, it has breathable air vents to reduce the chances of mildew and moulding. It beads water without retaining it.
Furthermore, it has reinforced corners to avoid annoying tears when it inevitably gets caught or snagged. The clinching system ensures that this caravan cover won’t billow in the wind.
You can also convert it into a sun awning by opening the eyelets in the door flaps. With multiple zippers, it’s easy to enter the van without any issues.
It’s an incredibly durable cover but it is expensive.
At over $400, it’s at the top end of the market. Many potential buyers won’t want to spend that much. However, when you consider how much your caravan cost you in the first place, I’m sure that you’ll agree that it’s worth spending a couple of hundred dollars to keep it in good condition while you aren’t using it.
It also comes with a superb three-year warranty which shows how much ADCO stands by their product.
Overall, this is a great cover for your van if you'll be putting it into caravan storage in Brisbane, as the UV ray blocking will keep your caravan safe from the harsh sun.
Camec Caravan Cover (C20CCV) 18-20' (5.4m-6.0m)
Our Pick
Camec offers a very similar caravan cover to the ADCO for about $100 less.
It also has a reinforced roof section for improved UV resistance. This is crucial in Australia because of the intensity of the sun.
Another nice touch is that it’s designed to resist external pollutants like dust, weather damage, and bird droppings. It’s easy to keep clean so that it always looks good. The non-abrasive ensures that it doesn’t damage the exterior of your caravan.
This waterproof caravan cover also has breathable side panels to reduce condensation. It’s a key feature to reduce the risk of rotting over time. However, it’s worth noting that it’s water-resistant rather than repellant.
At $320 or so it’s expensive but not unreasonable. Like the ADCO, it also has a three-year warranty.
