  • Carcoons

    Do you actually use them??

    Reason i ask is im thinking of buying one but think they seem a pain in setting up and im one who will go in the garage, polish,clean, tinker all the time and just think will it be a pain everytime i go in?? Or is it best just for winter months??


    Thanks

        If you are a tinkerer then they are just too much hassle, but for winter/long term storage they can't be beaten, I put my car in mine 3 or 4 months ago and I know it will be perfect when it come out again.

              They are great for long term storage (im good at that) but as said if you like to tinker every week then one of the new versions would be better. I've used them for about 15 years and they do work very well.

                  Cair-o-port all the way, none of the zipping the carcoon up, just unzip the doors and drive in and out, great room should you decided to do work on the car also.

                    Do you use this inside or outside?

                        Bugger. Mine is kept outside. I have looked into outside carcoons and I am looking at about £480.

                          lol,dont worry about it martin.
                          as said they are a pain to work on,i used to unzip it climb inside then zip it back up again so it didnt deflate deffo not work friendly,im looking into the new style [tent type] for next winter,just depends on the size of it
