I saw weird stuff in that place last night. Weird, strange, sick, twisted, eerie, godless, evil stuff... and I want in.

I used a Purpleline custom made cover - used every winter for 5 years old and going strong...

Yes... I would not cover it...
wax is the best cover...
which lets the van "air" and dry naturally.
worst thing is a cover, wrecks paint promotes damp loving mould
best wax for cold weather protection... are
Autoglym Hi Def
Collinite 915 Marque D'Elegance
Nattys White & Blue
RaceGlaze 55
Swissvax Divine, Mystery, BoS and Concourso
Victoria Concours
All applied ONCE then just wash after use
Allways use a HARD wax first , followed with a soft wax.
this will give all winter long paint protection.
As long as detergent is not used and a good quality car shampoo is, then the protection will last 12 months and is as good as a cover.

Re: high top cover for winter
I give my hightop a right good scrub every spring. But I find using it all year prevents mould taking too much of a hold.
