Hi, I am considering purchasing a 2002/3 Sterling SE (Style) however a little mouse has apparently made the canvas it’s home..
I have checked on eBay and only poor quality canvas is available. Aside of spending approx £2000+, where can I source good quality canvas replacement for less than I am buying the trailer for (£500)?
Appreciate any feedback on this one.

I very much doubt you will find a canvas for sub £500, your only hope would be someone breaking one, even then doubt you would get it for what you are looking for.

I take it the £2000 was from TVS ?

That is what i was expecting in all honesty. The company was POL and it was an estimate that I had taken from a pathfinder ad. Apart from eBay, where else can I search for a breaking Sterling canvas? Any advice welcome..

I know TVS a while ago were sell off their stock, so maybe worth an email.

Facebook, Preloved and Gumtree, keep an eye on them.

I would also get in touch with Blue Sky Holdings, as he refurbs them he might have insider knowledge.

Good luck.

Short, straight answer - nowhere.
Personally speaking, I'd give that camper a miss and look elsewhere for a decent one.
Maybe costing more initially, but worth it in the end.

Depending how bad it is, TVS can replace panels quite reasonably but colour matching may be an issue....

Thank you all for your valued advice. Looking into the Sterling trailer in a little more detail, I am not convinced of it’s history so going to leave well alone.

I have found another Sterling but older, although this canvas hasn’t been eaten by a mouse! It is a 1997 model and looks in very good condition. However….. they reproofed it 2 years ago with fabsil, not because it was leaking but “to be on the safe side”!!! All the research I have seen says irrelevant of age, only reproof IF absolutely necessary. As it has now been done (2 years ago) do we now have a lifetime of reapplying every few years or so? Or May the fabsil wear off over time and as it didn’t leak in the first place, then all ok?

Appreciate your thoughts.
