Protecting van over winter

Post by Billleivers »

Just read that forecasters are predicting a harsh winter this year. Got to thinking how best to protect the van from the worst of it. I've given her a good waxing and will give her a good run at least once a week all through winter.
Thinking of getting one of the new JK breathable covers while she sits on the drive but still concerned about possible condensation under the cover. May gave the option of space in a nearby farmer's barn.
Any advice as to the best option?

I have a Hamiltons cover for the Bay (which happens to fit the T25 as well but the 25 is never laid up long enough to warrant it!). Works for me.
