canvas repair

[norcaltroutkillr]

I just got my first pop up....upon inspection of the canvas it seems to be in pretty good condition except for a few places.....i see places that do total restorations of old canvas but has anyone here ever replaced small pieces themselves......would i just use a bigass needle with some heavy duty thread..??>...also what do i use to clean and waterproof the canvas....?......i got a starflyer 1705xl......not sure what year it is but its gotta be at least 25 years old.....anyone have a manual for these things..

Welcome!

I found it was easier to just take out the section of canvas that needed repairing and take it over to an upholstery shop.  The local guy that I use even had some of the 1980's tan canvas that was used on my Starcraft Nova.

Post a photo of your camper and maybe we can tell you what year it is.
