Advantages of Caravan Towing Covers
So the main benefit of a caravan towing cover should be fairly obvious. It should keep the front of your caravan clean while you’re on the road. Now, while you’re on fast A-roads and motorways that will be general grease, grim and oil washing up off the road surface during wet conditions. However, its often a different story when it comes to the last couple of miles to get to your site. Many caravan sites (including Horton Common) are in rural/semi-rural locations. Therefore, the main industry in the area is farming…you can see where I’m going with this. Therefore, the advantage of a towing cover is it can keep that ‘dirt’ off the front of your caravan. But obviously that benefit comes along with several compromises, more on that below in the disadvantages section.
The other potential advantage is protecting the front of your caravan from stone chips etc while towing. In fact, Dan and his wife in the video above are convinced that their towing cover stopped them from having a dent in their caravan or damaged window from road debris. I personally believe this should be classed as a ‘potential’ benefit or advantage of caravan towing covers.
Don’t expect caravan towing covers to perform miracles. If a large/heavy piece of road debris is bouncing along the road and hits the front of your caravan, even with a towing cover you should still expect some damage. However, the extent of the damage I think will vary depending on the towing cover you choose. Some are much more padded than others, hence they may take out some of that energy on impact. Potentially avoiding damage to the caravan at all, or just reducing the extent of the damage. So I do believe, and several of our guests also believe, that caravan towing covers provide some benefit/protection while towing.
