Caravan cover - protecting windows

TigerTim

Hi All,

I'm just about to buy a caravan cover & put the caravan away for the winter. After washing/polishing, I've heard that one should protect the windows with cling film or bubble wrap to prevent scratching. Anyone done this. After a Google, I found one post which said cling film could damage your windows - something to do with chemical reaction!.If I use bubble wrap, I could tape it on with duck tape but than may leave marks when removed next spring. Any suggestions. Has anyone done this?.

If its under a cover, what can scratch them?

You could also duct tape the bubble wrap to the bubble wrap.....

Apparently, the cover moving about in the wind causes the scratching.

I'm a bit lost here "You could also duct tape the bubble wrap to the bubble wrap...."

If you wrapped the bubble wrap around the window and tape it to itself, if you know what I mean

Why not use paper masking tape and tape some sheets of news paper to the windows then check them once and a while.

Hi,

I was new to caravan storage for the Winter last year. I bought a caravan cover which fitted pretty snug over the caravan. I did not cover the windows with anything and found there to be no problem. From what I have read on other forums and my limited experience, it seems that if you have the right size cover for your caravan you will not get windows scratched.

Hope this helps!
