20.63.1 Caravan cover antics

[Bushman]

Another tip is to try and protect the sharp corners such as on solar panels etc.

We ripped a hole in the cover on a metal edge. Just purchased some corner protectors (the kiddy safe ones from Bunnings) and will be sticking them on all the sharp corners to try and prevent the new cover getting shredded.

Good point on the Solar panels, something i never did on the Panda,
Though panel wont be a problem with the new one, its flush mount on the roof.

Hey mate is it a standard type panel? Usually panels need airflow behind them otherwise hey derate

I glued four of these on the corners of the solar panel after the photo was taken.

I know I have enought kids to stand on the vans roof and help get a cover on, but does anyone know the weight limit? ( I know I won't be able to get just 1 up on the roof, it will have to be all 4.)

Our 20.63-01 has handle 100kg so far on the outer edges when putting the cover on.
