Carcoons

[worty]

Having no space to store my M12 over the winer months and it being most unlikely that I'll get a new garage up by then I'm looking at options. Has anyone any experience of this thing or use other types of outdoor covers ?
I have had lots of offers to "look after " it but would prefer to keep it within sight.

Thanks

Check out the Classic Additions web site - £130 including VAT and delivery fitted cover made to order with elasticated ends plus a webbing strap for the under-belly (good for outside on windy days). Breathable fabric good for indoor and outdoors and they guarantee no discolouration should you put it on a wet car! Also an added bonus for those of us with most excellent "New Black" Titanium - the cover only comes in one colour - havya guessed what it is yet Rolf?! Job done!

Don't know as I wasn't at the FOS but going to the revival. there seem to be either covers or enclosures of various types. The car coon is basically an inflatable sealed bag that blow up once the car is inside and can then circulate the air inside to stop condensation. Covers seem to vary around the £200 range and these car coon things are about 5-600 quid. But just wondered if anyone used a car coon or similar product

Thanks for the info

but aren't Carcoons supposed to be used inside a building? They aren't for outdoor use are they?

Yes, it was on display at FoS. I looked at them and the sales guy said they were really for indoor use and to create a protected environment (eg keep out dust and moisture). Not sure what would hapen to them out of doors.

Does Michael Jackson post on here, he should know a thing or two about this type of chamber!

AFAIK they are for indoor use only and require constant power like a bouncy castle. They suck out the air inside along with the moisture and dust. Good if your leaving a car for long time or if the car is worth over £1 million.
