Yes or No?

Anyone use one of these and does it keep the van dry or do they still condensate?

Ta

Only keeps bird mess and leaves off
van is still wet under but if you had a massive leak it would help.
rubs paintwork when windy and so you have to throughly wash before fitting or grit/grime rubs into paint

Generally considered no, give it a good wax and drive regularly it is best, the wind blows the water out of all the nooks and crannies when driving

Thanks itchy

I bought a cover for mine as it had a leak, a company had a deal on eBay so I bought one £69.I was surprised how good it was over winter the paint on my van ain't great so didn't mind but it didn't affect it at all,yet the previous expensive cover I bought few years previous stuck to the van.

Vinnie came with a JK cover but we never used it until this winter when he was undergoing surgery. It meant he could live outdoors with cab doors and sliding door removed while wings & panels were removed & repaired. I was sceptical but the cover was fantastic, kept him dry inside, kept bare panels & bare metal dry during repair and protected new paint. No signs of mould being generated inside either.

Not sure if I'd use it normally but they definitely have a use!!
