Here’s a quick guide on securing your van or camper under one of our JK Luxury Van Covers. Firstly, make sure your van is clean and dry before putting the cover over your van. If the van is dirty, this may cause abrasion on the van with the cover rubbing against the dirt. If the van is wet, this will build up condensation within the van and take longer to dry.
Your van is subject to more condensation when parked on grass, so where possible, try to park your van on hard ground.
When putting the cover over the van beware of the wing mirrors, aerial and exhaust tailpipe and any other objects that could rip the cover.
Condensation will always build up on your van no matter how breatheable the material is; this may be confused with the cover leaking. As the cover is breathable, the van will dry out.
However, we would recommend that once a month, you remove the cover and let some air into the van. Its always a good idea to turn the van over at least once a month and let it run for 20 minutes, do this while the cover is off.
Never start the vehicle with the cover on, the exhaust will burn through the cover, also the van could fill up with toxic fumes.
Check the two straps underneath the van are always tight at least once a fortnight. They will loosen if wind gets underneath the van.
