No I haven't but I was thinking about it. Apparently there's a guy in England who makes them specifically for your Motorhome. I'm going to look out for him at the show in Birmingham.

I use a large square of wood the size of the wheel and a big hook made from spare wire to hold it on.

The version I saw was in France last summer where one gentleman had cut out cardboard and attached that to each wheel, cheaper than buying a purpose made cover.

Cover the tyres with chocolate nutella, I can't imagine we'll have enough heat to melt it for at least the next 6 months.

The better custom type fitting ones that I saw on a quick ebay search were reasonable until the postage from the states was added.
