Custom Caravan Covers, Made To Fit Your Van In Brisbane

Custom made Covers To Protect Your Van Or Camper Trailer

Yes, you can get a custom caravan cover made in Brisbane, cut to fit your van, camper or pop-top. We make them here at LJ Covers in Redland Bay, in heavy-duty canvas or PVC, measured to your caravan so it actually fits over the shape instead of billowing loose like a bedsheet. That means the sun, dust and tree sap stay off your van while it sits in storage, not on it.

Here’s what that means and how it works.

A custom caravan cover is a full protective cover made to measure for your specific van, camper or pop-top, not a generic size pulled off a shelf that’s close enough. Because we manufacture right here in Redland Bay, we can match the length and profile of your van, work around the A-frame, the drawbar, roll-out awnings and roof fittings, and pick the fabric that suits how and where you store it. A van tucked under a carport is a different job to one parked out in the open all summer, and the cover should reflect that.
 
If you’d rather talk it through than read, call Jason or Leah on 0411 781 221. We’ll ask a few questions and tell you straight whether canvas or PVC is the better fit for your van and your storage spot.

We also fabricate custom replacement annexes and awning walls where repair isn’t the right option — built to your caravan’s exact dimensions and finished to a neat, factory standard.

Why Have A Caravan Cover Made Custom Instead Of Buying Off The Shelf?

A custom-made caravan cover fits the actual shape and length of your van, so it stays put in the wind, sheds water properly, and keeps sun, dust and sap off the paint and seals instead of flapping loose and rubbing. Off-the-shelf covers come in a handful of standard lengths built for a standard box shape. The trouble is, once you factor in your pop-top roof, front boot, spare wheel, TV aerial or a roll-out awning down the side, “standard” stops fitting.

We see it all the time. Someone buys a universal cover online, it turns up, and it either doesn’t reach the ends or it’s so loose it flogs against the van in every gust and wears through the clear coat. When we make one, we measure your van as it is right now, fittings and all, and cut the cover to suit.

That’s the whole point of a made-to-measure cover:

• Proper fit: cut to your van’s length and profile so it sits snug and sheds water instead of pooling and flapping.
• Works around your fittings: shaped around the A-frame, pop-top, boot, aerial and awning rail rather than fighting them.
• Sun, dust and sap off: keeps UV, grime and overhanging tree sap off the paint, seals and windows while the van’s parked up.
• Breathable canvas option: canvas lets the van breathe so you get less trapped condensation and musty smells during long storage.
• Repairable: because we made it, we can re-stitch, patch or alter it down the track instead of you binning the whole thing.

Caravan covers and caravan awnings and annexes are two different jobs.
This page is about the full storage cover that goes over the van. If you’re after an awning, an annexe or the walls that zip onto it, head to our Caravan Awnings and Annexes page.

Canvas Or PVC: Which Caravan Cover Fabric Is Right For You?

The short version: canvas breathes and handles long-term storage without trapping damp, while PVC is fully waterproof and wipes clean, so the right pick depends on where the van lives and how long it sits. Both are made to measure here, and both stand up to Brisbane weather. We’ll match the fabric to your situation rather than push you at the dearest option.

Here’s how we usually talk it through with customers.

Canvas caravan covers

Canvas is the pick when the van sits for weeks or months at a time. It’s tough, it breathes, and that airflow means less condensation building up underneath, which is what causes that musty, closed-up smell and mould on the seals. It copes with the Queensland sun, takes a knock from a stray branch, and when it does eventually cop damage it’s easy for us to repair. If your van is stored outside for long stretches between trips, canvas is usually where we point you.

PVC caravan covers

PVC is the fully waterproof, wipe-clean option. Water beads straight off it and grime hoses away, so it’s a strong pick if the van copes with a lot of driving rain where it’s parked, or you want something low-fuss to keep clean. PVC doesn’t breathe the way canvas does, so for a van shut up for months we’ll talk through the condensation trade-off first. No surprises, we’d rather get it right the first time.

Not sure which one?

That’s a normal spot to be in, and it’s exactly the question we’re on the phone for. Tell us where the van’s parked, how long it sits between trips, and whether it’s under cover or out in the open. From there we can steer you to canvas or PVC without the guesswork.
