No, it won`t leak, unless it`s very, very old and rotten. Canvas is pretty waterproof on it`s own even without the added waterproofing layer. Waterproofing just helps it along. The trailer tent we used to borrow had never been treated since the day it left the factory in 1988 and it didn`t leak.

If it had been our TT I would have given it a coat of Fabsil toot sweet though. If yours was treated only two years ago then you`ll be fine...though give it another coat some time this year. Every two to three years is the norm.

HI

If it was reproofed in 2004 i would be surprised if it wanted doing again this year as it usually every 5 years when you reproof. I have just reproofed my frame tent which is six years old.

I would go away because if it does leak it should not be a great deal and you will get the chance to see where it is leaking from.It is better to find out over the weekend then when you are away on the main family holiday for a week or two

cheers
