My 2001 EVC sits outside under trees and I fear for the top.

I too am in the market for a sturdy outdoor car cover for '02 vw eurovan. I had the bus depot car cover which was nice, but after two years it is beginning to tear and crumble. looking for a replacment.

I too have been exploring the possibility of getting a full cover for my 1997 EVC.
wondering if anyone who uses these has issues with condensation.

I've got the Bus Depot cover as well. A bit pricey at $200 plus shipping, but it's very solidly constructed. Fingers crossed it lasts more than 2 years...

I live along the coast where it's crazy foggy. No problems with condensation so far. The Bus Depot version is really nice as it has zippers all over the place, so you can get into the van even with the cover on.

FYI it's a bit of a mess getting the cover onto something so big. It's a bit of a juggling act if you're doing it by yourself.

Best trick I've found is to fold it lengthwise on the ground, then roll it up from the nose back to tail. Then lug the huge jelly roll bundle onto the top back of the van, and unroll it forwards. This will allow it to at least drape over the top of the van completely. Then you can futz with getting the rest of it positioned correctly.

Just posting followup on this.

Sadly, the cover did indeed fall apart after a couple years. The "fabric" is some kind of compressed synthetic fiber, and after seasons of persistent SF fog and moisture it just disintegrated into handfuls of microplastic duct.

I just got this instead and quite pleased.

The size 18 AnITAnT is a good fit, though you do need to fold in the side mirrors.

It's a lot lighter than the Bus Depot version, which makes it so much easier to use single handed. And this cover is $60 versus $200, so you can buy 3 for the same price.
The only downside is that the edges where the tie downs attach to the edges of the fabric. These tear easily, so you may need to sew in reinforcement patches. Or maybe it's just because it's so windy in Pacifica that it places a lot of stress on this cover.

I have a Seal Skin Supreme cover for my Beetle that has been very durable in the heat/sun...I feel the premium paid has been worth it. On the other hand, I purchased a Seal Skin Elite cover for my Eurovan (at the time, it was not available in the Supreme model), and it deteriorated in the sun in less than a year...big difference in durability.
