winter cover
Thanks Gents,
The door in the right place is as you say, a huge advantage. The tighter fit appeals as we are at 700m and it can get a tad windy, the clincher I guess is that given a life expectancy of say 6 years, the cost is not a great issue. I had thought that life expectancy would be less. Time to give AL and Leisure Vehicles a call. Must have an old tennis ball at home somewhere.

Reminds me of my stupidity when I purchased a Protec cover for our first 540 (Poppy), I didn't use it the first winter but left it folded in its sack in the garage. Come the following autumn I sold Poppy and included the cover in the deal because the replacement 540 (Esmerelda) came complete with cover. I should've realised that Esme's cover was on its last legs, indeed its bum was dragging on the floor. It was dire and I put my hand through the roof the first time I tried to use it.
Luckily an ex TEF member was selling a virtually new one as he'd sold his van and so I took his over for a lot less than a new cover would've cost. But really I should never have let the brand new one go.

Amazingly, given the press that AL get on EF, Jason replied to my enquiry in two hours at 19.30.
For anyone who may be considering a new cover:
For a 2002 540, a Protec cover is £299 inc delivery and a Specialised is £341, again including delivery. Protec are quoting 2 -3 weeks delivery and Specialised 6 weeks, although they will do it in one week for an additional £50, funny that!

Incidentally, if you can't find a tennis ball let me know. We've got loads of them under the sofa, the cooker, the fridge and the bed.
All you need to do is specify whether you want a greasy one, a bald one, a punctured one or one almost torn in half.

It looks like Automotive Leisure are selling winter covers for all Eriba models about £100 cheaper than the norm for a fitted cover. I was wondering if they have found somebody else to make them for him?

When we were looking for one a couple of winters ago, Protec never answered my enquiry, so no quote from them. I did see them on Dragons Den last year, but we had already bought one second hand via a contact in that other Eriba place I used to frequent a lot.
He lived nearby and it was a good deal, even though it was made for a Familia and we have a PuckL. Apart from the door being in the wrong place it fits a treat.
Fitting it with Madam being vertically challenged is not easy but this year a 6ft+ visitor to our neighbour helped and it was so quick even with me on two broken legs which are slowly recovering and I treated it as part of the exercise I am supposed to each day. Rather that than the day before yesterday when I was dragged around Debenhams, Toys R Us and other places such like. We have never done shopping together over nearly 50 years of marriage, so I don't want to start it now, but it gets me out of the house. Having got the goahead to drive from the specialist I will now do so.

Hey Derek, it's great to hear that you're out and about again but please take it easy OK?
Regarding your cover, I think you mentioned that you didn't have the appropriate poles to help drag it over the roof.
As far as I can tell, THESE are the exact same poles that were supplied by Protec with our cover and they make life so easy
