gwr northants Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Be careful of them you need to buy a quality one , as they do damage the paint , were it is tight on the corners especially if the cover is used outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteknuckleride Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Get the Stormforce cover from Coverzone Ady. Done me for 3 years now. Waterproof and breathable.That looks just the job mate........does it have attaching straps going under the body (nothing shown on website!!!)I want to be able to leave it fitted while towing on the trailer without the fear of it coming off!!

-Stealth- Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 It has under body straps, with padlock option if you want.Wouldn't recommend towing with it though. Not with the Voyager one anyway. Would be like a parachute driving at your speeds! Maybe the Stormforce is heavier and wouldn't lift as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwr northants Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Get some truck straps Ady and ratchets , or I can show you how to rope n sheet if ya like !! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yeah as Ian says it does have underbody straps but would not have it on at speed. I know Duncan (racedynamix) had a sort of stretchy wet suit type of material one made for his Time Attack car which he can leave on whilst towing but suspect it would be pricey.Voyager cover is ok (I have one of those too) but not fully waterproof. Water does go through if left sat for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteknuckleride Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yeah needs to be waterproof so with you on the 'stormforce' Gaz has a point too.......only need some straps at the front to keep it fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwr northants Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Long motorbike ones Ady ?? You tow bikes fella hook em on to ya front wheels then one over bonnet , one over the rear on rear wheels ?? And a long strap straight over the middle ?? Get it done fella !! Or borrow one of Paula's bras there huge lol !!! One cup only should be fine !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Stealth- Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Mines definitely waterproof! Cars been bone dry these last few weeks but I did buy mine as a daily cover. Long term storage is what the storm force Is for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Voyager definitely isn't fully waterproof. Even the Coverzone site only claims 'water resistant' plus we used to sell loads of these at Scoobyworld and I have both so in a good place to advise :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
