Fabsil is good - it's not cheap though. We had a 5 litre tin and bought one of those garden sprayers (i paid the ridiculous price of £20 from the local garden centre but you can get them for £7.99 in our B&M Bargains) .The 5 ltr tin did our awning with plenty left over so you might need 2 tins. You will also need to make sure it's clean as the fabsil won't work where it is dirty or has had any kind of detergent on it.  

Really easy job, presumaby you've got space to have the whole thing up and pegged out. You will need a step ladder to do the roof though and you will have to do it every few years once you have done it but if there is still life in it then it's definitely worth doing.

Thanks for the advice, as the bed section is the worst bit, I have ordered a 1lt tin of fabsil and have a 1ltr spray bottle in the shed. I have got the whole trailer opened out in the drive drying and airing it off, so all going well the fabsil should be here for the weekend and I can do it then.

Thompsons is no longer reccomended for canvas. The new formula has changed and therefore may not be suitable. I would stick with fabsil.
