Hi, I have the one from just kampers £99. Fits really well and has zips around doors and sliding doors so you can access van with cover still on. Also has straps underneath for secure fit.

Yep, I also have the one that JK now sell, although I bought mine from Evilbay last year as JK didn't do the hitop version when I was looking - they do now. Great fit and pretty good quality for under a oner..... saw me through a harsh winter in the Welsh mountains last year without any sign of wear, tear or other problems.

Got mine on eBay too. Brilliant. Keeps it dry and bird poo free.
Careful though, the cover police will be along soon :wink:

Cheers Guys. Althought i did hear that the JK covers didnt really fit - if you have ladders on the back? Surely there must be some movement within the covers?
Cheers Phil

I have the JK hitop version and with ladder on it was too tight IMHO. Paint has worn through on corners in less than a month so I am not a happy camper. I took ladder off and it seems to fit better, but still very tight around bumpers. I too thought tighter was better, but it seems not in this case. I had a JK cover on T2 for a few years without any trouble though. I'm looking for something like thick cling film I could protect corners with before putting cover on. HTH, Bri

Does anyone know what the law is about having a cover on the van on a public road?

For the problems of displaying the tax disc and the number plates?

Thanks

Hi does anyone have a T25 hightop autosleeper with a ladder on the back and a cover that fits?

Also, is it illegal or something to cover a van that is parked on the street?

I have an Autosleeper hi top and a ladder on the back.
The best cover I have found.. and used for many years is Autoglym hi def wax.
not cheap but applied twice a year keeps water off the van whilst letting it breathe naturally
covers will abraid the paint making it porous over time.
and without a flow of fresh air through the van it will feel damp.
