Camper canvas… how to fix?

Posted by: | Comments (2)

We just bought a 1977 starcraft pop-up but the canvas has a lot of damage/rips. It feels a bit on the dry rotted side and the rips in it seem to rip even more when I pull on it just a little. I don’t have the money to replace it right now because it cost between $900 and $1300 for a canvas. So I’m trying to find the cheapest rought for right now, until I get the money for a new canvas. I’ve been racking my brain for ideas, (and the internet) this is what I have come up with…
I read that you can use water seal decking on the canvas to help water poof it. What if I sew/patch the rips then water seal it? Would the water seal help to hold the canvas together as well and sort of refurbish it? Would it be like coating it in a glue that will strenghten it and keep it from leaking?
And ideas on how to repair it that isn’t costly would be great…. Thanks

I am looking at buying a used pop up camper that is in really good condition considering the age. However there are 2 small rips in the canvas on the side that has the larger bed. What is the best way to repair it?

Most of the mold cleans up with vinegar and bleach mix. Is there some preservative that I can apply to the canvas after I remove the mold that will keep it from remolding for next year? Maybe a 3M product or something like that?
Jane, Dollar General is not in our state, nor the surrounding ones close by. I see this Awesome stuff can be bought on the internet and is a citrus cleaner. Perhaps if I mix citrus with vinegar, I can make a cleaner that is effective on the canves more.

But I still want to be able to slow the process of it returning later!
