Hi
Pending what is wrong with your canvas if it is just time to replace then replace by all means but if the screen is bad just replace the screen only. Save some
coin for the next camping trip.

Im also working on a bad zip and Bad screen gig as well. May also put together a side screen add on. Not sure at that point if it would be cheaper to
replace. But if the canvas is in good shape it would be a Upgrade is all not a replacement. All in good fun.
