Caravan Parts and Accessories Guide | RV Parts Express

A caravan cover that tears in the first big westerly, or traps damp against the walls through a wet winter, is worse than having no cover at all. So the real question when choosing an ADCO caravan cover isn't the logo. It's which cover will cope with the sun, rain, dust, wind or salt air your van will actually face while it sits in storage.

Most diesel heater problems on the road come down to habit rather than hardware: short runs, low-output idling, stale fuel and a flat battery at start-up. If you know how to use a caravan diesel heater properly, from the first press of the controller to the final cool-down, it will keep warming your van night after night instead of sooting up halfway through a winter trip.

Are caravan covers worth it? For most Australian owners who store their van outside for weeks or months at a time, the honest answer is yes, as long as the cover is breathable, fits properly and goes onto a clean, dry van. That said, a cover isn't an automatic upgrade. Fitted badly, on a windy site or over a damp exterior, it can cause the very damage you bought it to prevent.

 

A caravan parked in full sun can turn into an oven within hours, and even a van with air conditioning can struggle once it's relying on batteries rather than a powered site. That's the core of the caravan fan vs air conditioning question for Australian travellers: fans are cheap to run but only move air, whereas air conditioning genuinely cools but can drain a battery bank in an afternoon.
