My bus is now in the garage for the winter and I had stuck a couple duvet covers over the top of it to keep the dust n crap from falling on it whilst it's sat up for a few months .But today I noticed that the covers felt pretty damp from the damp cold air in the garage .Although the full length rack keeps the cover off the paint on the roof I don't think the damp cotton sat on the sides of the van will do it much good. Is it better to leave it uncovered and just wash the crap off next year or is there a recommended breathable cover that doesn't hold moisture and won't break the bank ?
What are peeps using if at all ?
 
keep mine in the garage no cover and keep the Windows open a fraction to let air circulate. It's always been dry as a bone. Just periodically give it a wash on nice dry days during the winter . I should imagine any sort of cover is going to "sweat" slightly???

Mines in the garage I wind the windows down and open the slider to allow a bit of air to circulate. Fortunately my garage doesn't seem to damp, suppose its all down to ventilation/airflow and size (its a double with pitched roof).
 
Mine is in my garage covered. I recently bought this
Maypole MP6582 Camper Van Cover https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00FA21MPA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vnEtybJ8GVT8W" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

No problems at all. The pics don't do it justice. It's a nice neat cover and breathable. Well worth the money
