Hi, We're about ready to replace out pop top tent in T-Rex. Any thoughts on acrylic vs canvas? Thanks!

Patrica,
Here are some pictures I took during the process of replacing my poptop canvas.

I bought the acrylic version from GoWesty. The new canvas was a nice product overall. I chose it because I heard that it would be more durable over the long term. The acrylic is a little thicker than cotton, more water repellant, more resistant to fading. By reading the lists, everyone recommend buying the high quality replacements, don’t skimp on the cheep ones, you will regret it.
Hope this helps! -Blake

I wanted to try the hemp one as well but I bought the cheapest cotton one from Bus Depot and it was terrible!. My Rivi still has it's original acrylic tent. I love it!

What was terrible about the canvas from Bus Depot?
