Where to order Replacement Canvas

Hello fellow Campers,
We have had our 2012 HW296 for about 6 years now. The van is used at least 2 weekends a month, the canvas is really starting to show its age & is no longer waterproof as it once was.
We are in Australia and the only place I can find that will make them so far is TJ Snuggles They don't offer international shipping & will only accept payment via check. Which I don't like the idea of at all.
Also found pop-up parts, they want the canvas sent to them first & all there reviews are about trying to get refunds.
I've sent Bear Creek Canvas an email asking if they will ship internationally.
Any input on reputable places that can supply a full canvas without us having to send in ours first would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Doug

FYI, TJ Snuggles IS the OEM for your tent material and I did business with them the same way you described and they came through no problem. There are some US ship to places that will forward to you internationally you might look in to that.

I just fond one in Florida, $480 USD to ship it from them to me.
The canvas is $1500 + $90 shipping to Florida

Current conversion USD $2070 to AUD $2770

This is going to hurt

Don't know anyone in the US that could do it for you? Or is that the rate to Australia from the US? I have never shipped off the North American Continent so wouldn't know.

I also imagine it weights quite a bit!

Really showing it's age....

is it worn and torn or just ugly....

When I bought our popup it was quite ugly ... a little cleaning with Resolve pre-treater, Woollite, a drop of bleach, and ample elbow grease cleaned it right up... then treated with 303 Sunbrella Fabric Guard and not a drop through the canvas for 10 more years (just sold 1995 Coleman popup).

A couple questions on this;
Was you van leaking at all prior to this?
I see the 303 fabric gaurd says not to use on vinyl, the tops of the canvas's on the Rockwood are a vinyl material. Is yours a canvas or vinyl top.
Someone may be able to clarify that one for me.
The ends are getting mould on the inside of them and to clean them it will wreck the waterproofing. Other than that they are basically new looking.

- No it was not

- Fabric sides and vinyl top, treated the fabric with the 303 protector (it also makes fabrid more waterproof) - 303 also makes a vinyl protector.
Someone may be able to clarify that one for me.
The ends are getting mould on the inside of them and to clean them it will wreck the waterproofing. Other than that they are basically new looking.
- I cleaned the mold with a solution of bleach (just a tablespoon in a bucket) and woolite on a soft brush, then 303 to protect and waterproof
