Subject:Canvas: Cotton or "Sunbrella" ??
From:Warren Chapman

I'm considering new canvas for my '89 Westy Syncro.  There's been a lot
of posts in this group about the wonderful absorption, expansion
qualities of the original canvas.

Some have purchased replacement canvas from Bus Depot which has canvas
made of "Sunbrella" which is a treated synthetic material.  I doubt if
it "absorbs and expands"  as the original.

Does anyone have any comments or experience with this new Sunbrella
fabric or "canvas"(cotton or synthetic) from other sources.

I would also like to know the size of the side windows from anyone with
the three window replacements (bottom length and length from bottom to
highest point).
