T6.1Cotswolds
Can anyone recommend an easy to fit winter cover for my T6.1 please ? Something that fits specifically and won’t rub or damage the paint/ breathable?

I dont know for sure if they do T6.1 but try Specialized Covers or Protec both make tailored breathable covers. Do make sure your van is externally cleaned before using the cover otherwise you are compounding the rubbing issue with dirt. Hope you find one.

I have a maypole cover;
Quite good - breathable and you can unzip to get access through the cab doors.. Works for us..

+2 Maypole-breathable and straightforward.
I fit over the awning side first. I tend to roll it up on the sides and tailgate leaving just the roof/bonnet covered as I have 2 huge trees that like to shed. When it’s heavy rain/windy just strap down-takes minutes.

@T6.1Cotswolds and there it is, your answer right there!+1 for the Maypole cover. We used one on our T6'es with no issues.
In fact - it's now in the for sale forum...

Personally, unless I had to park my Cali under trees, I wouldn't want to cover it if I was laying it up for winter.
I think even the best fitting covers will chafe to some extent and also trap moisture.
Instead, I would give it a really good wash, followed by a good polish.
