Hi all

 Just wanted to let others know on here who ahve asked questions about mildew on your canvas, i have a 98 pullman which had mildew pretty much all over, not bad mildew but still coverd maybe 60% of the canvas, i found an add for cleaning http://www.bowenawnings.com/, i sent my canvas away which was sent to Novosail in southhampton who clean boat sails and horse covers, they also clean awnings, i have to say its the best money i have spent on my pennine, the canvas took just short of 3 weeks to return from collection which was pretty good i thought, it came back spotless, i cant beleive how clean the canvas looks, they reproof also after cleaning, i think its worth the money spent to get a proper clean canvas, beats trying alsorts of different methods mentioned on the forum before you might find the one that works, give them a try im sure you wont be dissapointed, i was considering a new canvas and awning from pennine with their deal , but £120 for a clean was much better than £1500 for a new one.

I've saved that link to my favourites for future reference.  Thank you

After reading this thread I contacted Westaway, who are local to us in Ivybridge and they will do it and have quoted £7.90 per kilo of canvas to wash and service the canvas. We think we have 15 kilo's of canvas in the cabin and awning, so are going to get it done

Hadn't even considered this before, as we only thought specialist firms such as TVS in Bolton did this kind of thing. Thanks again to the OP.

Westaway will replace a broken cabin door zip for me too, yet to get a quote for that though.

Great info davidmv6. We have a 93 Sterling and it's looking rather tired and dirty in that 'Pennine' way! It's also suffered from alot of mildew staining over the years so this is really worth looking at.

Thanks again for sharing

Oddly enough,despite their name,Tent Valeting Services DON'T clean tents! (or awnings etc)
