Pick up cover

Post by dorsetpickup »

i'm going a bit message mad having just joined; so many things to ask!

Has anyone ever come accross a tailored pick up (whole vehicle) cover? various suppliers are suggesting a traveller/ van one but this will mean a big old load of baginess to sit in the tub and probably several million gallons (give or take) of rainwater collecting in it.

I could put a flat board on the back i guess, and sit the baggy bit on it, but it will not be the most attractive thing. And no, I don't have the rear frames btw.

Anyone any ideas?

Sorry its not going to help much but Ive got a white dust cover version on my pickup, but I have a tilt cover on the back (or just the steel hoops at this time of year, the actual tilts folded up under my bed at the moment :o)). The pickups always in a garage anyway so the cover is just there to stop the dust in my garage settling on the car.

My cover is as Ive said a white cotton version and has been tailor made by thoroughbread covers, one for a van would fit a tilt covered pickup ok.

Get yourself a tilt and you'll be sorted :o)

But in all seriousness I dont know if covers are available for tilt-less covered pickup, speak to thoroughbread they will know better than me.

Stormforce are very good. My Traveller has been under one for the last 3/4 months. Opened her up the other day. She was clean dry and ready to go to a rally :D
