A caravan or motorhome is a big vehicle, so is makes sense that putting a storage cover on, isn't always the quickest thing to do, especially if you haven't done it before! However, with advice and a little practise your cover can be put on easily, in 10 minutes.

Watch our new Fitting video, as well as reading the Step-by-Step guide below, for hints on how to fit your new Specialised caravan cover and make the process as easy as possible!

STEP 1
Take the cover from of the bag and lay it out, being careful that the inner does not come in contact with the ground collecting dirt and grit. Slightly open the door of the cover which will make the fitting easier. Establish the front of the cover from the rear.
Handy Hint: The label denotes front of cover.

It's fantastic to hear that we have been shortlisted for the Small Manufacturer Award at the prestigious Insider Made in Yorkshire Awards 2019.

The winners will be announced at the ceremony on 7th March, at Leeds’ Hilton Hotel, and we're looking forward to the evening meeting like minded, Yorkshire companies. 

Have you got a Specialised Cover you just can't be without? Do your friends and family comment on the quality, or its kerb (pardon the pun) appeal?

If so, we'd like to hear from you. We love sharing customer stories and really finding out what it is about our covers that you really value. Ultimately, our covers offer protection. That's what they are designed and manufactured for - and have been since 1981. But sometimes it's the little finishes touches that really makes something stand out.

So, whether we have produced a cover for your car, bike or caravan (or something else) it would be great to hear your thoughts. After all, our covers speak volumes about us; new customers are always keen to hear what previous customers think before they make a purchase.

2018 has been a very busy and exciting year at Specialised Covers and we couldn't do it without your support and valued custom.

As we put down our tailors chalk, wrap up our tape measures and switch the sewing machines off for the year, we'd like to take this opportunity to wish all our customers a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Our offices and factory will be closed from noon on Friday 21st December and will reopen on Wednesday 2nd January 2019.
Our last dispatch date for 2018 will be Thursday 20th December.

It's great to receive such lovely feedback from our customers; and it's especially nice when they share that feedback with others!

Caravan and Motorhome Club member, Mr Johnson, recently got in touch with the Club after seeing our advert in the magazine and purchasing a full caravan cover for a new Elddis caravan.

Here, Mr Johnson shares his thoughts with the Caravan and Motorhome Club... and us!

Our new Tow Pro+ was launched at the October Motorhome & Caravan Show 2018 and has continued to prove a hit with our customers, even in chilly December!

With three access points; including a new window drop down, the tailored towing protector allows you to get to the grab handles, locker box and window without removing the cover.

We love what we do, especially when we get asked to cover something a little out of the ordinary. 

Now a chair isn't really our of the ordinary, per se, but the chairs in question are rather iconic, so we were pretty excited when we were asked to produce 4 special covers for them.

It was another fantastic 6 days at Birmingham's NEC last week, for The Caravan and Motorhome Show 2018. We were back on stand 18.11 to meet and greet our fabulous customers and demonstrate our covers.

The team were on hand to offer expert advice on our tailored covers and towing protectors and talk customers through the features and benefits of our protective covers. Customers were also able to take advantage of our exclusive show offers and discounts. 

After a very busy and exciting year of growth, we're pleased to announce the appointments of Katie Fishwick as our new Managing Director, and Veronica Jeffries who joins Specialised Covers as Commercial Manager.

Katie, the daughter of Douglas and Carole Long who founded Specialised Covers back in 1981, will maintain the family heritage of the company and continue to build on the success achieved over the past 37 years. Many of our customers will already know Katie from previous shows and events!

Katie has been with the company for 15 years and has the industry experience, commitment and passion, to drive our business forward. Following the stepping down of Gavin Hughes, Katie is delighted to take on the new role and will continue to lead the company with integrity, inspiring the team and building a strong future.
