Description
The product is an inflatable vehicle cover. Inflatable vehicle covers are used to protect vehicles like cars, boats, campers and the like. The inflation and ventilation is provided by two small fans built into the product. This allows air to flow, keeping the cover from touching the vehicle, which reduces condensation and mould from forming. It also creates a protective barrier. The covers are made from rubber and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) that are heat welded. A rubber mat is placed inside the cover and/or also underneath for protection. The covers are rolled and placed in cardboard boxes.
