Replacement Canvas for Wildwood 25EX

[chiefpontiac]

Does anyone know where you can find the replacement canvas for the front end of a Wildwood 25EX.

only place to get one is through a FR dealer.
you could go to someone like Bear Creek Canvas to have a new one made but they may not be able to duplicate the attachment hardware.

you should have a tag inside the canvas, stating who manufactured it for FR.
our Roo's were made by T.J. Snuggles in Elkhart.

what's wrong with the current tent end?

[chiefpontiac]

Thanks for the info. There are two problems with it. One is a rip on the top. I've already had another hole sewn before. The other problem is the plastic bead around the edge also tore in half in one section. I suppose I can RTV it, but wanted to look at replacement options.
I'll check the tag tomorrow.

what year is your trailer? my canvas has a 5-6 year warranty from T.J. Snuggles. said so in the paperwork that came with the owner's manual.

It's a 2002 which actually isn't even listed as a model then. 2003 is the first year. You ever have the feeling you hung on to something too long?!?

[bikendan]

i was going to say that i've never heard of that model. i didn't even know Wildwood made hybrids back then.

i'm sure we all like to see pics of it, since it's a rare hybrid.

I'll try to dig up a picture or two. I can't find any tags on the canvas itself. Just a logo that says "National Tent Seal of Excellence" with a Blue star in the middle. The real problem with this thing is cracked and ripped plastic "J" channel that holds it in the frame in the camper.

[bikendan]

the company is National Tent & Awning, Inc, in Elkhart, Ind.

but the canvas is clearly out of warranty, but they might be willing to repair it if you sent it to them.
or you could try Bear Creek Canvas.

Tj Snuggles or the others have web sites?

You can also give Canvas Replacements a call. They mostly make popup canvas, but I think you can also send them your old canvas for models thay don't already have a pattern for and they will make you a new one. After Coleman went out of business, I bought some lift parts from them and was very happy with their service. Got a quote on new canvas last year as well, but sold the popup and bought the Roo instead...
