Treating old Canvas

G'day timborees,

First of all put the tent up in the backyard on a hot day and scrub it inside and out with one of those car wash brushes that fit on the hose (little hand held type not the whirlygig ones) paying particular attention to seams and corners etc.
You will find that this will make a huge difference as dust and dirt wicks moisture through the canvas.
If the canvas is still not waterproof use Birkmyres waterproofing and follow directions, I applied it with a brush when I used it once on aprevious camper trailer.
My cub Campomatic is 16 years old and has spent nearly 3 months of every year outback and gets pretty dirty. The annual scrub restores it to total waterproofness and I've never had to apply any Birkmyres yet.

We have had a Southerncross tent for a bout 10 years, you will NOT be sorry you bought it. We liked it so much we bought a Southerncross camper as well, but we won't sell the tent.

If you want info on the tent ring Souther Cross Canvas direct. Here is their website:
