Hi there,
I am wanting a new annexe roof for my camper the kids sleep in the annexe and want the roof to be waterproof as have a problem with current roof letting mist through in heavy rain. Which is more waterproof for the roof section Vinyl or Canvas also the annexe is folded up when not in use so which is easier to handle
Thanks

Troppo

Vinyl is probably more waterproof, but I bet you it will not last, especially in direct sunlight.
A heavy 14 ounce canvas will last for years, and you can treat the seams, with waterproofing.
I am sure there are some posts on this forum about the same, so you might just save a $$$$$ by doing a search
Cheers
Bucky

x2 Most decent canopy shops will tell you the vinyl attracts condensation that drips if people sleep in there.

The condensation drips also leave white marks on the vinyl.
