I have contacted Specialised Covers and below is a collated version of the e-mail conversation.
So, nothing in the pipeline from them:-

===============================================================================================================

It has been mentioned on one of the eriba forums that you are looking into the possibility of producing a front protection cover, to be used when towing the pop top eriba touring.
I have recently bought my 4th and hopefully final eriba, a 2017 Triton, and plan that will last me out. I would prefer to keep it as free as possible from dents and dings to its front end.

Have you any news about this possible welcome development. If so would you be in need of a test van to try for fit?

=================================================================================================================

Thanks for your email. I’m not aware of us having any plans to make a towing cover for the Eribas as they don’t have an awning channel…

Thank you for the reply Vicky.

The eriba does have an awning channel. In fact it has a combined gutter/awning channel that runs around the full van.
This is one reason why I am surprised a towing cover has never been available. The top fixing should be very easy, just slide it in.
Please see attached photo.

================================================================================================================

I understand however to make it safe enough and secure it needs to be fitted with awning rails that run from top to bottom rather than one around the top of the van.

Thanks

Anything further on this? I would be interested for my Troll.

If enough interest is generated, perhaps a 'crowd funded' cover.

Hi,

Just back on Wednesday from 3 weeks in Europe, I spent all morning cursing and cleaning dead insects of the Troll, I would be very interested in one of these.

Dear all, see #17 above.
I do not believe any company is going to make a towing cover.

Hi, my wife has just modified a universal front cover by "custom Covers"
Removed existing side rail attachment, added top rail fixing.
Trimmed the bottom, inserting darts to fit.
Fixing to the bottom corner steadies.

I like the modified cover Rory - I also like very much that someone elses garage is as messy as ours is! ☺
