Default Carcoon?

I'm considering investing in a carcoon for the old S1 has anyone got any experiences of these systems or can they recommend a better or cheaper way of keeping the old girl dry and rust/rot free.

Thanks

Andy

They are excellent-as Nick says above a pain if you cant help tinkering through the winter months as they take a while to put up- but other wise top notch

very good!

right, i got it, not bad, the frame is a bit long winded, and i got the small one, bit of a tight fit so maybe the next size up would have been better.
looks to be working well though.......











not that easy to work on as its prob a bit small, and it only has a main entrance at the back, unless i reverse it in, but not practical for me.
