Hello, I have been handed down an 8 man frame tent in a lovely olive green, the tent itself is in pretty good condition for its age and the fact it has been stored in an attic for 20 years. The outside is a little sun bleached and the door zips are stuck and one of the vinyl windows has gone a funky orangey brown colour. I used to go on family holidays to cornwall and devon in this tent and am hoping to take it this year with my new family. I do however have a couple of questions I would like answered if anyone has the knowledge.
1, Can you change the colour of a canvas tent to something a little more modern?
2, I am going to need to give the canvas a fresh coat of waterproofing, any recommendations on product to use?
3, I need to replace the window, is this possible?
4, I fear the zips on the doors have had their day, is there a way to change them?
and finally,
5, Seeing as most campsites these days are geared toward the polyester blow away tents, am I likely to have issues turning up at a campsite having booked a pitch to find my 8 man tent is to big?
Many thanks to any who can answer some or all of my questions.
Regards
Paul
