PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

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.

FEATURES

FEATURES

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 specialised Swiss‑patented film ensures exceptional strength, durability, and reliability. Our unique manufacturing process sets our tarps apart from anything else in the industry.

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.

HOW TO MEASURE

HOW TO MEASURE

How to Choose the Right Size Caravan Tarp

Choosing the correct caravan cover tarp size starts with accurate measurements. Our covers are flat tarps, not fitted or elasticated caravan covers, so sizing depends on the level of coverage you prefer.

Step 1: How to Measure Your Caravan for a Cover

Measure:

  • Length: Front of caravan (excluding drawbar) to rear
  • Width: Widest point, including handles or protrusions
  • Height: From base (excluding wheels) to highest fixed point (AC unit, solar panels, vents)

Step 2: Select Your Coverage Type

Full Ground-to-Ground Coverage (Maximum Protection)

Caravan Tarp Size Formula:
Tarp Length = Height + Length + Height
Tarp Width = Height + Width + Height

This allows the waterproof caravan tarp to drop near ground level on both sides. Depending on your measurements, there may also be additional material available to tuck underneath the caravan for extra protection if desired.

Roof & Partial Side Coverage

Caravan Tarp Size Formula:
Tarp Length = Length + Height
Tarp Width = Width + Height

This covers the roof and sides but does not extend fully to the ground.

Important Installation Tips

  • Our caravan covers are flat tarps, not custom-shaped covers.
  • Always rope across the top and around the perimeter to prevent your tarp turning into a parachute!
  • Proper tensioning prevents wind uplift and flapping which extends tarp life.
  • If suspending the tarp, ensure it is properly supported to avoid wind uplift.

Premium Caravan Protection for Every Journey

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!

Frequently Asked Questions - ARK Tarps

Frequently Asked Questions

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!

What about warranty and shipping for caravan covers?

We provide warranties for all our products so you can enjoy a durable and high-quality product with confidence. We ship out all orders within 1 business day from our warehouse in Melbourne. For delivery times, refer to shipping estimates here.

Are your tarps completely waterproof?

Yes! All our tarps and covers are completely waterproof! This has been tested through a laboratory in Australia and we are proud to confidently offer 100% waterproof products.

How strong are your eyelets?

The eyelets on our tarp are ultrasonically welded and double reinforced to provide extra strength! We have done eyelets strength testing to give you an idea of just how much load/strain our eyelets can take. Check these out under the Eyelet Test Video tab.

How do your products stand against the sun?

We are so confident on our product performance that we offer you a 3 Year Warranty against any UV degradation. Our products love the sun! And once again, we back our claims with testing. Our tarp and cover materials have been thoroughly tested against rapid UV degeneration and have outlasted and outperformed other common tarps/covers.
