RE: Water Resistanting the Popup??

Check with Dutcham or your owners manual to see what they recommend.  What is your tenting made of?

I checked the manual and it doesn t say anything about it.   Nothing.  
 
 It also doesn t say what the fabric is made out of either.  I just assumed (there I go assuming...lol) that all popups are made out of the same fabric.  
 
 It s just a soft canvas.  It s on the windows that you unzip to open on the bunks.

I had the same problem after cleaning my canvas on my Jayco. Jayco recommends Scotch Gaurd Fabric protectant, but after 4 applications, we still had water seepage, so I went to an RV store and they recommended Canvak Canvas Treatment. I painted that on with a brush and have had no seepage since!
 Good Luck!

 I would check with Dutchman or your dealer to see what they recommend.  On the Sunbrella tenting on my trailer you are supposed to use 303 High Tech Fabric Guard.  Good luck on finding the right product.

Well, this is what I did. I went to Boaters World and bought a couple of the spray bottles of 303 Fabric Guard. Sprayed it on and it worked!
 I have a couple of spots that have a bit of seepage (it s been raining for 2 days straight here), so after it dries out today, I m going to actually spray another coat on it to make sure it s totally covered.
 Thanks to all of you for your responses and your help. I knew I could count on you!

Glad you were finally able to find something that worked.
 
 Hope you stay dry for many years to come.

Thanks me too!
