Canvas Replacement

Anyone replace canvas panels? Can these be purchased from Forest River? 2016 2317g

Recently bought a new to me unit. The canvas is terrible, pretty sure the previous owners kept it up all summer, every summer. All bunk/slide ends pool and absorb water and are stretched out. No water damage inside yet, but I need this unit to last me at least 5 years so willing to get this fixed.

Thanks!!

There are a couple of well known canvas replacement companies.
Bear Creek Canvas and Canvas Replacements.com

I called a FR dealer. I'm looking at about 4k to order the replacement and installed. I don't have the space to do it myself.

Check out the sites Dan suggested above. Both of those companies have been around for a long time and they are going to be a fraction of what FR charges.

The company that made the tent fabric originally was called TJ Snuggles. No kidding. They only go back 5 years though. When I spoke to them last it certainly wasnt that much however that was pre-covid pricing. 574-546-4404

Good Luck

When I owned a boat- a canvas repair place would clean and waterproof my boat canvas for me yearly. Might want to check into that first. I believe I paid about $500 and my canvas lasted 15 years in perfect shape. Yours isnt too old- it might be as good as new with some servicing. They would check all my zippers and do any repair for me as well.
