Try Tent Valeting Sevices. They have a good website, are a Conway specialist and come highly recommended, although I have never used them myself.

Best of luck

You can repair them yourself...but it`s never quite as good as a quality professional repair. You need two patches of matching fabric a bit bigger than the damaged area, stick then onto the totally flat canvas with fabric glue such as copydex, stitch round twice 1/4 " apart using a sewing machine, then reproof.

Seeing as it`s a sun awning and thus easily removed, I would go for a professional repair. It`s better when you come to sell the TT, if for no other reason.

Thks everyone, I love this site, everyones so helpful. My husband thinks I have become a very sad person, if I don't look at the message boards at least 3 times a day to get my fix, I'm sure I would start to twitch !!!!! Regards 

Tent Valeting Services are excellent, even though their accents are a bit dodgey!  Talk to them, tell them what you've done, admit it was all your fault and ask for advice. 

I have read on another forum that it is possible to make a perfectly satisfactory repair yourself by ordering a chunk of canvas from them and GLUEING it on with a white paper glue, the brand name of which escapes me.  This is actually apparently what they advised as an economical repair.  I only remember this because I was as shocked as you are now!

Remember, the fact that it can be repaired is the main thing.  Don't panic!!!!!

Do not do anything until you have spoken to them and asked for help.  They have just made up some skirts for my Conway Excel at a very reasonable price and were easy, polite, friendly and most importantly fun to deal with.  And a phone call only costs, well, the um..... price of a phone call I suppose!  

COPYDEX!!!!  I'm sure it was Copydex adhesive!

(Sorry, I had a Jade from Big Brother moment there as I remembered things......)

Good luck with it.
