Hi and welcome to the forum.

If the canvas is still waterproof, I wouldn't touch it. If it has any mildew, don't panic, you just need to wipe over with a weak Milton solution to kill of any spores especially as your son has lung problems. This might take away the naturally waterproof properties of the canvas so you will need to keep an eye on it next time it rains.

Have a can of Fabsil ready just in case you need it but but hopefully you shouldn't.

Don't worry about the fading - retro is in. Everyone will think you are seasoned fc ers - until they see you trying to put the awing up

We have just "upgraded" from an almost new, barely used very tasteful and posh Pennine Fiesta to an old Pullman with faded green and grey canvas and the most glorious cushions and curtains you have ever seen, but we love it - it's definitely more "us" and I can live in it without worrying about it all the time.

Bet you can't wait - post later and let us know how you got on.  

Well I hope you didn't laugh at him

Cruiser is dead easy to set up - just slide the beds out (carefully- don't trap the canvas)  click the uprights into place and then set the inside up. That's it. Put the kettle on.

You will find if you stay on this forum for more than ...ooh about a week, that you will find yourself parting with lots of money. You may not have paid much for your camper but there is now loads of 'stuff' that you will just have to have. Try, if you can, not to look in the 'camping under canvas' or 'equipment' threads, those girls over there keep finding 'stuff' and then we all have to go and buy it.

I will second that Ange !    By the way snowprincess, I know where you can get some fluffy faded denim blue cushions ??         My OH bought them !!        

Enjoy your unit, Just get out there and practice.
