A barn.

Sorry not being faciesous but it's how I store mine, it still gets dirty and covered in pigion phoo but it just means a good wash at the start of the season and normal washing every trip.

The major problem with caravan covers is they move with the wind and chaff the paintwork, no matter if they are breathable or not. On that subject I have found breathable = not waterproof so the van gets wet permiateing the cover and the cover stops it drying. Like putting a wet car in a garage it stays wet.

I wash mine using propiety caravan cleaner every time and wax it once a year with auto glym resin polish, have no problem cleaning it at start of season, ladder used to clean roof and feed through brush on end of hose to get the worst off then use the cleaner by dipping the brush into a bucket of wash solution before rinsing off with hose.

When I baught it the roof had not been cleaned for4 years, using my method it took one wash to bring it back to an acceptable standard.
