Bailey Caravans have tested Protex 003 and accepted that our material is not detrimental to their caravans.

Our Fabric

So why is a Pro-Tec Cover more expensive than those from our competitors? 

IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNING YOUR CARAVAN NEEDS TO KNOW

  • The microporous membrane chosen by Protec is both waterproof and breathable. It exhales condensation but does not inhale water and dust. The microscopic pores are 500 times smaller in diameter than water droplets. This membrane is patented and cannot be copied. Gortex and your skin are waterproof but only breathe through body heat, think about it and then check the facts yourself. Only Protec have acheived the perfect balance protecting your investment with a waterproof naturally breathable cover. If you cannot breathe through it neither can you vehicle.

Why do you not supply extra protective fabric for the windows to prevent dust from getting inside the covers like your competitiors?

  • This would defeat the object of covering your van, the purpose of a cover is to protect all your van not just the windows. With the strapping in place at regular intervals it would be virtually impossible for dust to be blown inside the cover at window height. 
  • A helpfull customer informed us that it takes 2 people 3 times as long to cover all the windows than to fit a cover.
  •  Protec demonstrate that our covers do not scratch windows or damage paintwork by attaching fabric to a sanding disk. This is fitted to an electric drill and then run it against the caravan window, with no ill effect.

Why did Protec not win the Practical Caravan test in 2003?

  • The test report highlighted very little difference between the covers at that time, we decided to substantially upgrade our fabric. We trust that our fabric is now the best available and it is also made in this country.
  • The fabric used in this test by our competitor is no longer the fabric used in the covers they manufacture today and therefore is not a true representation of their product.
  • We recently commissioned an independent test on our material and that of our nearest competitor the results clearly show that Protex 003 is significantly more permeable than that of our nearest competitor. Please feel free to contact us for a copy of this report.

As well as that - we are caravaners ourselves, so we naturally wanted the very best from a cover for our caravan, and this has led to the development of a far superior material, which we use today. We are pleased to say that this material is available only to us and is patented.

To see what makes our material so good, please look at the fabric section for more details.

Whether Winter or Summer, we know you will benefit from ALL YEAR ROUND protection with our revolutionary fabric Protex 003, which was introduced in 2003.

Protex 003 provides protection against ultra-violet (UV) ray damage, mould, rust, dirt, bird droppings and condensation.

Protex 003 is a Tri-Laminated material made up of the following layers:

Coloured top layer
UV stabilised so you can use all year round.

Central Membrane
Provides a waterproof protection whilst retaining its breathable properties, allowing naturally occuring water vapour to escape.

Lower Layer
A soft non-abrasive inner lining ensuring no scratching or marking to your windows or bodywork. Unlike many other covers available, you will never have to protect your windows with other materials whilst our cover is on.

Our fabric comes in two different colours, Green for rural areas and Grey for built up areas.
