 |
|
I have to store my 1970 Westy in my mother's drive way for the next 8 to 11 months. I would like to buy a cover prevent as much wear as I can. Does anyone recommend a cover to use? The house the van will be at is in Maryland. I noticed bus depot has three different styles for various types of weather, has anyone had experience with any of them?
Thanks for the help!

I bought two, one for my Bay Westy and the other for my splittie from California Car Covers. I think they were $190 each, and they have held up well, even during the snowy winter......they are water repellant.
The one thing I did notice was that I had to hose the inside down after long usage.......dust would build up in there, but then again I live on a dirt road, and it is windy here.
I like that Bus Depot one, allowing access easily to the doors..very cool  |

Thanks for the replies. I am paranoid so I went with one of the expensive ones (second to best). I hope it works out well!
