Do I need to weather my new awning?
« on: August 01, 2013, 03:50:12 PM »
Hi swaggers,
Picked up a new sidewinder2 awning today. Got $80 off the price because it had a small (2cm) tear in the outer canvas cover! I'll just use some waterproof tape to seal it up, or if others have any ideas to seal it.
Just wondering if u need to weather / seal it like the canvas on a CT?
Any help / thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

Strvy unlike the others I reckon you do need to weather it.

At minimum a 3 day weekend camped at your choice of destination will do for starters :-)
