We still have some months before we trade In Our car and camper as part of the upgrading process to a Motorhome.  i think we need to do some waterproofing of the canvas before we get rid of the camper as there has been some wetness coming through inside the camper. Question is does any one know the best way and product to use to seal the canvass. There is no pooling of water, just the damp canvas which when bedding is next to it the wetness is transferred to the beds.  Is there a spray we can use or should we take the whole camper to the canvas place and has it done professionally?  I am sure many of you have had campers in your early days of traveling and will have had some experience with wet canvas.  We do have full awnings over bed ends and side, but we don't always have the bed awnings out and unexpected rain can be a problem.

thanks ....

try some of the big camping shops, I'm sure they will know what to use, have never used a product like that but I do know they are out there.

We used a silicon spray on mcycle jackets, as they were waxwd canvas. Can,t remember the name , but go to a saddler or mbike shop, they should have some. Bill

ps , I think it was a Selleys brand.

We made our own annexe walls for our Aliner - used a lightweight un-seasoned canvas. Once made, each wall was laid out on a large table in the backyard and painted with a thin coat of COI Leisure 'Aqua Proof' (Made by Primus and found in most large camping stores), we use a normal 100mm wide household paint brush. Aqua Proof is suitable only for weathered canvas. The trick seems to be to apply a thin coat evenly over the whole surface. Initially the coating has a whitish milky tint to the canvas, but dries clear. Our 2 litre container is about half full, and has done us nearly two years now - we re-coat about twice a year. The annexe has weathered some significant storms over the last two years.
