New member here. Just bought a 1995 Dutchmen off of craigslist. It is in very good shape, but needs a few repairs.

The zipper between two of the canvas panels is pulled apart, and the zipper pull/slider is missing. The zipper itself does not appear to be broken. It looks like if I can find a replacement pull & slider, and get it started back on the two sides of the zipper, that I can get it back together.

Any suggestions on where I can look for replacement zipper pulls/slider?

Thanks

You might find the zipper pulls at a fabric store in their notions department.

I've frequently used a safety pin as a temporary fix/zipper pull.

Go to //www.zipperrescue.com and they have kits for replacement pulls for zippers. The kits they have are only for YKK brand zippers though so I would look at the pull on another zipper in the camper and see if it has YKK on it before ordering the kit, otherwise you may not find what you need in the kit.
Campmor also sells the same kit, //www.campmor.com  .

Congratulations on the new camper!  A paper clip will work for a pull.:)
