Title: Vehicle hail covers.
Post by: MarkGU on November 01, 2020, 01:16:29 PM: With all this wild weather around at the moment, has /is anyone using the hail type storm covers and if so, what are your thoughts on them?

Cheers.

Haven't looked for a camper trailer version yet. Cheaper than the insurance excess but probably destroyed in the event of a storm.

Not sure but like cars, don’t they reduce the value over time

No it's not, they don't depreciate the agreed value. Can't find the part of the pds where tis is stated.
