Camper trailer canvas zipper repairs / replacements

try your local upholsterer - although right now at pre-Christmas is not the best time for what they would see as a not very profitable job and at their peak time of year, (regarding workload) The usual problem is getting the tent section on a sewing machine and as it is usually attached to the trailer, it might help if you could disconnect that and take it to his workshop. Another alternative would be to take a photo of the part that needs repairing and show him, at least as a starting point.

Have you tried these people.

Had a zip problem with the mesh screen on my Oz tent a year ago and thought crikey this is going to be a problem keeping the critters out and a huge job to replace. The whole door area would need to be dismantled , fixed, and resewn. Took the tent to a local canvas product manufacturer and he fixed it in 2 minutes by ensuring the teeth were lined up and engaged correctly and then gently squeezing the slider across the flat part with pliers to firm up their action. Worked a treat...no charge. The repairer says he fixes a lot of them that way as in time and constant use the slider opens up a little and doesn't engage the teeth properly.

Cheers...hope this helps?
