Water!! Just open camper to expose canvas & give it a good soaking to swell stitching, let dry, pack up.

I totally agree with BJ. Just give it several good hosings with water, and you shouldn't have any trouble. I did this with my current canvas tent, and left it in some on/off rain for about a week, and it is now as tight as a drum!! The dude at the tent store said he would even stick a sprinkler inside the tent, and wet it from the inside out aswell, but i haven't plucked up the courage to try it yet!! Tristjo.

without a doubt just keep watering it.. I hosed my camper and tent for about two weeks(Hosed, let dry check for leaks, just keep doing it) and never had any dramas. Dont go much on doing the inside but just make sure all the joints get a fair share. A lot of the products on the market create more dramas than what they are worth

I got some stuff from the people that make the canvas Birkmire I think the name is and used that 4 years ago and the canopy on my truck is still waterproof. No drama or problems just followed the instructions on the tin

gday where...
solver paints do a silcon coating for water proof canvas not sure as to the cost but is exactly what you are looking for

Wherethe.., there are several good products. Some are noted on another recent thread - just search for "tent" or "canvas". Just be careful when choosing a product as you may succeed in making it waterproof, but at the same time you may also stop the canvas "breathing".

Try the watering trick first. Its best done when the canvas can dry fairly quickly in very warm weather.Be good, or be quick.
