Hi Guys, I'm David and I'm new here.
I have an old CUB Kamparoo camper trailer, that was put away wet and left that way. I was storing it at my daughters house and her kids used it and it was almost 2 years between then and when I went to use it again.
Sad to say the canvas has rotted through in some areas. I'm hoping someone here can help me. Would it be cheaper to replace the entire canvas or is there some kind of treatment I can get or give it that will stop the rot and make what is left waterproof again? I'm in Sth. East
Melbourne.
Thanks in advance,
David

Bloody grandkids, David, eh! :-)
If there's holes where it's rotted then I'd suggest that you replace all the canvas.
You only need a decent gust of wind and it's liable to rip the old stuff, especially along the seams.
There's a reputable canvas craftsman somewhere in
Melbourne, His products were recently mentioned in a thread started by Mick O.

Thread is 110050, and firm is Infront Camping Gear.
If he doesn't do this type of work, he may give you the drum on another firm that does.
