Hi Andrea.

I just looked at the same link for the 18 - 20 foot caravan cover.

The dimensions for the cover are 640 x 230 x 220.

Can I suggest you grab a tape measure and run it down the side of your van. If it`s under 640cm then that's the one for you i`d say.

Ants, would you recommend going the 18-20' for the 17.56-2OB then or should the 16-18 be okay?
We have a Prestige CCV18 (16-18ft) cover on our 17.56-2 OB.
It is a caravan cover (not a poptop cover) and we have the poptop up.
I'll put a photo up later.

I bought a prestige cover for a pop up 17' van, and definately should've gone with one for a larger, non-pop up van. It does not fit for the height and is stretched too tight, so I'm expecting to see it ripped as it deteriorates in the weather.....

I think both would fit it would depend on what you want to cover. I wanted to ensure that i could cover my bottles thats why I went for the bigger one. :)
As Coastrunner says, just run a tape down the side and compare the measurements. :)

Maybe another option for you is to visit a boat trim - upholstery place. I did that and got them to make me up a custom made heavy duty cover for my Hawk. Whilst a little faded - the canvas is still solid and Ive had 4 years use from it - full WA weather - as I we dont have undercover parking. Had them put some eyelets in the bottom of cover that I use to tie if off with.

Has worked well for us - and I will be getting another cover made for our new 17ft expanda arriving soon.

Cheers Sid

Given the horrendous weather over the past couple of days, our panda hasnt even got wet let alone any damage!
Well worth the investment.
Cheers

Hi Mate,
Sorry for taking a while to reply i have not been online.
The cheapie is fine. Has not broken down and has no issues with the cover at all.
