I purchased a Just Kampers breathable cover for my VW van to keep the elements off it this winter.
This morning I thought id check and see if the van was dry underneath after rain in the night, whilst it wasn't sopping wet it wasn't dry either, I phoned up JK and explained to them my story, the reply was yes its breathable it lets moisture in then lets it out again ! So I asked how would this work when its freezing outside etc... apparently
it will and my cover is working as it should...
Now am I being thick cos I thought it would keep the rain out and let any moisture out...

please explain...
It's to stop that 'boil-in-the-bag' feeling when your van is going up hills etc...oh, hang on....
What you want is an outdoor 'carcoon'...
You need Goretex for that.
Reading the blurb I cant see anywhere that it says its waterproof. It just stops your van getting covered in crap over winter whilst parked uo and it will dry out.
Maybe it's inside out?
To be honest I wouldn't expect much breathability at that price - look how much a breathable jacket costs compared to a waterproof one.
Was the Van warm and dry when you put the cover on? Is there an air gap under the cover to allow adequate ventilation? Think of a tent - anything touching the outer skin will draw moisture though the material even if the conditions are just damp/misty.
Any cover should prevent the van from being drenched in a down pour, but this only really helps if you have a leaky van.
