Camper canvas
Already posted this in interiors but no joy.
Have just added a 75 bay to the fleet and need to replace the canvas in the pop top, (not a westy, but the sort of standard 3 quarter job).
Nearly fell off my chair when my mate at the local caravan dealer phoned around and was quoted $700.
There must be someone in MELBOURNE who can do what appears to me to be a relatively simple job worth a couple of hundred bucks?
In the worlds before Monkey primal chaos reigned. heaven sought order, but he pheonix can fly only when its feathers are grown. the 4 worlds formed
again and yet again, as the endless aoens weild and passed. Time and the pure essence of heaven and the moisture of the earth all worked upon a
certain rock old as creation. And it became mgically fertile. That first egg was named "Thought". Thathaga Buddha, the father Buddha, said
with our thoughts we make the world. Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch and from it came a stone monkey! The nature of MONKEY WAS
IREPRESSIBLE!!!!! !

unfortunately the canvas itself isnt cheap, there may be $200+ in bare materials up there.

yep... if you can find someone selling a poptop assembly with canvas you may come out on top...but for the sake of conveniance...might be worthwhile
biting the bullet and forking out the going rate to get new canvas put in by a pro...type..um guy... then also at least you know it should last a
while.

Go to motor trimmer- we get them done in my local town (WA) for $375 with heavier canvas.
If not timmer try someone who makes camper trailers.
They are not difficult as they can use existing as pattern.
These seats were retrimmed in marine grade vinyl and repadded for approx $240

If you've got the original canvas and it's in decent enough shape to take a pattern from, I might be able to help. I'm just down the road from you
on Hawthorn Road.
