My husband and I just bought an old fixer-upper that needs new canvas. We got a good deal on it, a Coleman pop-up for less than $600 and are not looking to spend a fortune on new canvas. Can anyone give us an idea on where to get new canvas at a decent price? TIA

Welcome to PUT.  What is your camper?  There are two well know canvas replacement companies.  They are Canvas Replacement http://www.canvasreplacements.com/ and Bear Creek Canvas http://www.bearcreekcanvas.com/  I hope this helps.  If you don't want to buy new canvas you can patch the existing canvas.:)

The reason you got such a good deal on the camper is the cost of canvas isn't exactly cheap. I believe for a complete set it'll cost you a little more than what you paid for the camper. I used Bear Creek a few years back, they do a great job and right now offer a winter special (free shipping or something like that)...

Thanks so much for the help. Bear Creek Canvas seems to be the best price wise so far. And they are very helpful. They have a wait of 10-12 weeks for the ones that they make but since we don't want to wait that long, they are ordering us one from Coleman. It cost a little more but its worth it to us to get it in 2 weeks.
