Towing Cover

Recently treated ourselves to a front towing cover.

Never used one before but the front of the Orion used to get plastered with flies,bugs and the like which were difficult to clean off.

I also thought that it may prevent a stone damaging the front window which I imagine won't be anywhere near cheap to replace so,as I told SWMBO,it is really an investment not an extravagance.

Got a Pro-Tec direct from Bailey,very good service,ordered 1pm and delivered at 10:20 am the following day.

  1. I am a big fan of towing covers.I had one for my Orion and always felt it saved me a lot of work cleaning the front of the van and worrying about a broken front window which is mega expensive on the Cadiz.
    I have one already to fit the Cadiz next week and will report back as to the fit. Mine is a specialized Tow pro cover. I used them last time so hopefully it will work this time.

  2. Bill,
    Do you leave the cover on when the van is stored or do you remove it and put it on before each trip?

  3. I remove the cover for storage The cover can fade over time if left in the sun and theres no danger (I hope) of damage at my storage . My last cover took about 5 mins to fit on my own, and I used to store it in the gas locker.The trick is to make sure the cover is fitted on a clean window otherwise any grit could be rubbed against the plastic window.
    like most things the new cover looks better again than the last; time will tell.

    Yes that's a good point I never thought about fading.

  5. Collected the Cadiz and the specialised cover fits well. It took about 3 mins to fit on my own.Its much easier than the original Orion cover.

  6. Bill,
    Hope our Pro-Tec is just as easy to put on.
