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.Â
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.Â
Exceptionally strong, lightweight and reliable tarps used as caravan covers – Choose from heavy duty or extra heavy duty tarps. Please note: the extra heavy duty tarps have a white colour with a pattern on top. Both tarps are ideal to be used as caravan covers. table below shows comparison:

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
