Your caravan is more than just a vehicle – it’s your home away from home and it needs protection! Our caravan covers are made from premium materials designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Whether it’s intense sun, heavy rain or strong winds, they offer reliable waterproof protection and UV and tear resistance, giving your caravan the defence it deserves.

Our tarps are the perfect solution for protecting your caravan. Designed to wrap securely around your caravan, they offer optimal protection against the elements. With a wide range of sizes available, we have a tarp to suit every type of caravan, ensuring you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your investment is well protected. At ARK Tarps, we understand how important it is to safeguard your caravan. Let us help you keep your home on wheels in pristine condition – no matter where the journey takes you!

Exceptionally Strong, Lightweight and Reliable. Our Heavy Duty & Extra Heavy Tarps are the perfect solution for Caravan Covers, with Ultrasonic Welded Eyelets, 100 % Waterproof for Life and 3 Year UV Guarantee.

100% Waterproof

Our Caravan Covers are born waterproof. The raw materials used in their production are waterproof, ensuring that each layer of our tarps provides complete waterproof protection. Unlike other tarps, which often have only a thin, water-resistant coating applied after manufacturing, our tarps offer full waterproofing throughout.

XF Film - Swiss Patented Film

Our Caravan Covers are made from XF Film. This specialized Swiss-patented film ensures exceptional strength, durability, and reliability. Our unique manufacturing process sets our tarps apart from anything else in the industry. You can learn more about the XF Film and our production process here.

UV Resistant - 3 Year Guarantee

ARK Caravan Covers offer excellent UV resistance and come with a 3-year UV guarantee. Designed for extended outdoor use, they will not peel, crack, or disintegrate under harsh sunlight, making them ideal for Australia's extreme weather conditions.

Ultrasonic Welded Eyelets

The eyelets on the Caravan Covers are ultrasonically welded onto a sleeve of thick plastic, integrating them into the tarp material for added strength.

Strong & Reliable

During our manufacturing process, the layers of raw material are laminated in opposing directions, creating greater cross-directional strength. Unlike normal poly tarps that are typically woven in a single direction, ARK Caravan Covers offer superior strength and better field performance.

Backed By Australian Lab Tests

All our tarps have been tested to meet various Australian standards. When we say our covers are tried and tested, we mean it. We control the entire production process from start to finish, ensuring all quality and compliance checks are met before the product reaches your hands.

Why Our Tarps Stand Out

ARK TARP – XF FILM OTHER WOVEN TARPS CANVAS TARPS PVC TARPS
UV resistance UV inhibitors are incorporated in the raw material blend - 3 Year UV Guarantee UV inhibitors are usually applied as a thin surface coating, which wears off faster, reducing long-term sun protection Limited UV resistance: typically untreated, which leads to faster degradation in prolonged sun exposure UV resistant but may degrade over time depending on the thickness and treatment of the PVC coating
Waterproofness Raw material is inherently waterproof throughout Waterproof coating is applied on the surface, but this thin layer can degrade, leading to reduced water resistance over time Water-resistant but not fully waterproof; canvas can absorb water and may require additional treatments to stay water-resistant Fully waterproof with a thick PVC coating, ideal for heavy-duty outdoor use but prone to cracking in high temperatures
Longevity Long life as tarp is 100% waterproof and UV resistant through the entire thickness of the product Coating wears off, causing cracking and peeling, which leads to shorter lifespan and vulnerability to elements Durable but susceptible to mildew, mould, and rot if frequently exposed to moisture, leading to a shorter lifespan Long-lasting in stable conditions, but coating can crack or peel over time with high exposure to sun and cold
Strength Layers are laminated in opposing directions creating greater cross directional strength Woven in a single-direction weave, which can be inherently weaker and more prone to tearing under stress Strong and tear-resistant but less flexible; canvas can rip if punctured or cut, especially after wear High tensile strength; resistant to tearing but less flexible than XF Film, making it more likely to rip under heavy stress
Eyelets Ultrasonically welded on a sleeve of thick plastic, making them part of the tarp material Rivetted on the tarp making them more vulnerable as they punch through the tarp material causing potential tear points. Typically riveted or grommeted; canvas can weaken around eyelets due to fabric tension and moisture absorption Metal or plastic grommets; more durable than canvas or woven tarps but still prone to pulling out under heavy strain
Material Composition & Manufacturing Process Constructed from multiple cross-laminated layers with UV inhibitors and waterproofing embedded in the raw material. Layers are laminated in opposing directions, enhancing cross-directional strength and resistance to tearing. Made by weaving polyethylene or polypropylene threads in a pattern, then coated with a thin layer of poly material for added strength. Coatings are often thin and may wear off over time. Woven from thick natural cotton or synthetic polyester fibers in a tight weave; often treated with wax or waterproofing agents to resist water and UV exposure. Produced from synthetic PVC (polyvinyl chloride) layers laminated over a woven polyester scrim. The PVC is coated and heat-sealed or welded for waterproofing, though high temperatures can affect flexibility and longevity.
Environmental Considerations Fully recyclable as made from virgin plastic material, with a focus on UV resistance to prolong lifespan and reduce frequency of replacement Typically, non-recyclable; coatings may degrade faster, requiring more frequent replacement Biodegradable if untreated, but typically treated canvas is less eco-friendly due to waterproofing chemicals High environmental impact from PVC production; often non-recyclable and may release chemicals upon disposal.

How to Pick the Best-Fitting Caravan Cover for You

To get the best fit, measuring your caravan correctly is essential. Start by measuring the length from the very front of the caravan (excluding the drawbar) all the way to the back. Manufacturer specifications can sometimes include the drawbar, which isn’t necessary for the cover, so it’s always best to measure manually. 

Next, measure the width from the widest point, making sure to include handles or any protruding elements. Finally measure the height from the base of the caravan (excluding the wheels) up to the highest fixed point, whether that’s an air-conditioning unit, solar panels or a roof vent. 

Hot Tip for Caravan Covers! To choose the best-size tarp, use these simple calculations:

 Length: (Height + Length + Height)

 Width: (Height + Width + Height)

This ensures full coverage and a secure fit for your caravan!

A properly fitted tarp hugs your caravan securely, preventing unnecessary movement that could lead to wear and tear. Our caravan tarps come equipped with sturdy eyelets, making it easy to fasten the tarp tightly to your caravan. And remember – make sure to rope across the top of the tarp to avoid the wind turning it into a mini parachute that might just try to fly off with your caravan!

This means no awkward bunching, no exposed areas, and no more struggling to get the cover on and off. The best part? You don’t have to remove the entire tarp to access your caravan. Simply undo the area you need to open, and you’re good to go! If you’re using the tarp as a suspended cover, ensure that you don’t incorrectly suspend your tarp.

Material & Features

When it comes to protecting your caravan, not all tarps covers are created equal. That’s why we use our premium XF Film. Unlike standard fabrics that can fray, tear, or degrade over time, XF Film is engineered to be waterproof, UV-resistant and highly resistant to wear. 

Beyond its strength, XF Film is designed for practicality. It’s lightweight yet tough, making it easy to handle while providing heavy-duty protection. The tarp has a smooth finish that won’t scratch or damage your caravan’s exterior.

Our eyelets are also ultrasonically welded into the tarp material itself. This creates a strong attachment point that distributes tension evenly, reducing stress and preventing tears to ultimately make securing your tarp easier and more effective. And if an eyelet ever comes loose, the XF Film ensures that the material won’t fray, allowing you to easily replace it with a tarp clip and keep your cover in top condition.

The result? A tarp that’s built to last, with reinforced stress points, superior load distribution and long-term reliability.

FAQs

Is it a good idea to put a cover over your caravan?

  • Absolutely! A good caravan cover offers necessary protection from extreme weather conditions as well as dust and damage from tree sap and bird droppings.  Your caravan therefore remains in excellent condition for extended periods because the tarp protects against fading and cracking while shielding it from water damage.

Are RV covers also a good idea?

  • Yes! RV covers serve to shield your vehicle from UV rays and environmental elements like rain and dirt. These covers decrease damage to seals and paintwork which makes them an excellent choice for maintaining your vehicle over time.

Do caravan covers cause condensation?

  • Our tarps are 100% waterproof, meaning they are not breathable. To prevent moisture buildup underneath the tarp, it’s important to allow for air circulation. You can either remove the tarp occasionally to let the air flow or leave a few centimeters exposed underneath for ventilation. If you wrap your caravan too tightly with our tarps and don’t allow any air circulation, moisture could accumulate, potentially leading to mold growth.

Is it OK to walk on a caravan roof?

  • The weight capacity of caravans to hold objects on their roof varies between different models. Before walking on it, always refer to your manufacturer’s guidelines and consider using boards to spread weight evenly as needed.

How long can I leave my caravan covered?

  • You can keep your caravan covered long-term with our tarps specially designed protective covers. Before covering your caravan make sure it is both clean and dry to avoid moisture becoming trapped beneath.

How do I clean and maintain my caravan cover?

  • Cleaning your ARK caravan tarps is easy! You can just hose it down using a garden hose, or you can use a gentle soap and water mixture and then scrub gently to eliminate dirt and stains. Stay away from strong chemicals or abrasives as they can potentially harm the material. If you maintain your tarps properly they will provide optimal performance for many years to come.

How should I store my caravan cover when not in use?

  • Simply fold your tarp and store it away from sharp objects. The best part about our tarps is that you don’t have to worry about sun exposure, drying it out, or mold growth. Just fold it up and store it – it’s that easy!”
