Winter can create many problems for drivers, from those who have just passed their test to seasoned motorists. When you combine darkness, sub-zero temperatures, and heavy rain or snow, drivers are faced with conditions that are less than optimal. In fact, drivers are 20% more likely to be in a car accident during the winter months*. 

However, the risk of having these accidents can be drastically reduced by watching out for specific hazards and taking some simple precautions. 

At Specialised Covers we are striving to implement Industry 4.0 principles within the context of our customer’s growth strategy, Lectra provided us with a tailored software and equipment to support this objective.

And, until 31st July, you can enjoy £50 off our Stormshield +, tailored covers by simply using code STORMSHIELD50 when you check out. 

It's fantastic when our customers share their advice, handy hints, and reviews with the wider caravanning community. 

The Trudgians, the fabulous caravanning family, love to share their experiences with fellow caravanners, so it was great when Dan blogged about his tips for using his tailored Tow Pro + ...

It was a pleasure to attend the Supercars and Coffee event in aid of Leeds Mind, on Sunday 9th June.

Organised by Leeds Supercar Meet, the event was a fantastic day of supercars, bikes and raising money for a very well deserved cause.

After we spotted a photo on twitter, with grisgruntled Peugeot RCZ owner Adam Tudor-Lane, complaining about how birds had spoiled his beautifully clean car, we immediately jumped to attention. After contacting Adam and suggesting an outdoor car cover may solve his problems, he explained that he had tried covers in the past but they simply were not up to the job.

Clearly, he had never tried a Specialised Covers outdoor cover. We're extremely proud and confident of our products, so we knew if Adam tried our Stormshield +, designed for long-term outdoor storage, he wouldn't look back...

If you've seen other Specialised Covers towing protectors on the road or at campsites, and wondered why your Tow Pro looks slightly different; firstly, well spotted! Second of all. Don't panic. They're meant to be that way... and for very good reason.

As all of our tailored towing protectors are made to measure, the access points on the Tow Pro + and Tow Pro Elite are completely dependent on the make and model of caravan. For example, some locker boxes are the full width of the caravan - whereas other vans, don't have a locker box on the front at all!
