Winter cover for Autosleeper Broadway

[Jimhut]

Both a question and a warning. I bought and fitted a top cover for my Autosleeper Broadway - easy to do, just spread it over and hook the elastics at low level. BUT ... we had a lot of rain, and because of the shape of the Broadway's roof (high ridges along both sides) the cover dipped in and the water pooled, and flooded into the van via the skylight (despite it being closed). Everything inside was soaked. So that's the warning - you need to support the middle of any cover so it can't dip in. Ideally you would have a support under the cover, but I can't work out how to do it, short of covering the roof with planks.

Any ideas to solve this ?

Yes don't cover the roof, causes more problems than it stops.

Trouble is, the van gets dirty, and green algae grow all over.

Washing it regularly will stop that, a cover will create more problems than it solves.
