I've just tried to search Kampa cover on Trustpilot and most of the results are for Kampa in general, more specifically the awnings.
Our previous cover I used inside the garage for 3 years, so not a good test. It then it had a year outside on Merseyside close to the coast and then a year in exposed and very wet and windy Devon. It was like new when I sold it on. Our present Kampa cover I have used for one winter in the same very exposed Devon location over winter. It is also left on permanently when the van is not in use. I've just been out and given it a good check, and apart from a few cm of stitching that looks untidy it is still as good as the day it went on. I would have no problems in buying another.

And I bought Colin's old Kampa cover and it has done sterling service this last winter outside in Suffolk - the wettest on record...

We have a specialised cover, not cheap but fits very well and means the caravan is ready to use in the spring without a deep clean

This is what we’ve just done with the old winter cover,
The intention is to use it when at home to keep the roof and gutters clean and free of moss.

Mrs Gadget sewed a channel for a cord, which pulls tight under the gutter, then 6 clips let us attach the original straps.

- Looks a bit like a beret! 🙂

Pas de Monsieur Gadget. Ce ne peut pas être un béret tant qu'on n'a pas mis le cabillou dessus.

I can translate it but I can’t believe Inspector Gadget did that with a ferret and a weasel 😲🤣

A ferret and a weasel Mrs Grafo? A cabillou is in fact, the pimple or stalk on the top of a beret

I knew that but the ferret and weasel sounded much more fun 🤣

Not the ferret and weasel at the same time, obviously!

After using ProTec covers for many years and the last cover on our troll lasting approximately 16 years outside, I'm annoyed that our 3 1/2 year old cover is deteriorating.
I contacted ProTec and was told that it looked like UV damage and that it was out of warranty, I was also told that they use the same material. Obviously not as our other covers had spent years in the same spot and lasted many more years.
These are not cheap covers, so I won't be buying another and plan to build a shelter to park the van under.
For now, I've repaired the holes and splits.
