canvas and water pumps/faucets

[munchkin]

We bought a 1982 Viking fixier upper. Roof is coming along nicely.

Where can I fing tan canvas for patches? Trying to get this season, maybe 2 out of it.

Also, it needs a water pump and faucet. Don't need the ritz, but need as little hassle as possible in an inexpensive one. What are the differences between the Flojet and the Sureflo? Also, any warnings on any particular 3-way faucets?

Thanks!!

Do you have Joanne Fabric where you live? Go there (or some such place) and ask about iron-on patches. They come in tan, and they are the easiest way to repair relatively small canvas problems.

As far as the pump I'm not sure, I suppose you would order from one of the rv stores or from dealer.  The faucet on the other hand, my dh installed a regular kitchen faucet after taking measurements from lowes which I LOVE it makes washing dishes and everything else so much easier.  The only drawback is when we tear down we make sure to detach the spigot and I simply soak up the remaing water with a paper towel and store the spigot in the kitchen drawer.  Hope this helps.  BTW our old faucet leaked we replaced it with one from a dealer and still had the same problem that's we decided to replace this way.
