Replacing the canvas in 2024

[Timø]

I know there are several historic threads about roof bellows but many seem to be a few years back.
We have finally decided that our 2008 SE Cali could do with a new canvas. I did receive an approximate quote last summer from Kernow Campers in Penzance which was quite reasonable but that’s 71/2 hours away.
Closer to home (Cumbria) I was quoted about £804 for the canvas plus a further £800 for fitting!. Surely this is very steep or am I out of touch?
Any suggestions for the North would be appreciated.

Kernow Campers are very good and worth the drive. They helped us by replacing our failed hydraulic rams and sensors and replacing the canvas. Excellent job.
Go for a wee holiday.

If you want an expert who knows what he is doing and has done many then Kernow Transporters. A family member of the owner has a campsite nearby. Make a trip of it and you will save £100’s .
