I am using a cover bought from eBay. I think they are as good as you buy from the stores at twice the price.
Prestige 22-24ft 300D Oxford Canvas Caravan Campervan Cover - 2 Years Warranty
$220. Cheaper for a smaller cover.

You get what you pay for it would appear. Mine was bought off Ebay for $170 or so dollars, has lasted just short of 18 months and wont last much longer. All the surface finish off the top is gone and left with gossamer thin shiny base material only. Every tie down strap subjected to our WA sun has perished and fell off on the side if the van that cops afternoon UV, the other side is fine. This thing will be getting a float test in the big pool ( Merchant Navy terminology again)very soon. Just in a quandary now as to what to do. I guess 18 months is perhaps not that bad reallly for the coin outlayed, but is a bloody nuisance having to do it all over again. What is an unknown, is that if i pay twice as much, does it necessarily follow that i would get twice the life? I think not......

tis the luck of the draw I think
I always work on the theory's -
if its too good to be true - it is
if its way cheaper than anything else similar - there is a reason why
and if it is exceptional quality, and cheap - I've missed out...............

thanks everyone! yeah the ADCO one seems to be the one that will last the longest with a 3 year warranty. so even if you have to replace it every 3 years it's still works out to be $100 per year cost to have your van covered the same cost of buying a cheap one every year & a bit :)
