  View original topic: Best place to get a pop top canvas?
jajajill Thu Apr 16, 2020 12:25 pm

Seems like $400 is the going rate for a pop top canvas from most suppliers.
However, I see one on ebay for $300. What are the chances it's the same supplier? I'm willing to pay the extra $100 for quality, but there's no reviews on any of the listings (Ebay or otherwise).


Anyone had experience with this? Are all canvases created equal?

Hello,
Bus Depot..... German or their in-house brand.

This is what I have. Very happy with it. The cheaper the top, the cheaper the quality.

Buy the most expensive one you can afford. Lite cotton tents are disappointing compared to oe.

Second bus depot. We had their riviera one on our 78 and loved it. We lived in the bus so had it popped every day and it held up great!

Hello,
Notchboy, does your front window/screen open for access too the luggage rack?.
And, tjrm63. Same question and is that the german or house brand?.
I'm curious and that would be good info for people looking for the options.

They both appear to have the outer flap covering the screen zipper in front but only a guess.

Yes it does, but I don't have a pic. The side ones screens are fixed and do not open. I picked this one for quality and large size side windows.

Mine is the Bus Depot house brand cause I wanted the tan color, the front window screen does unzip for access to the luggage rack the side screens don’t. Zippers are heavy duty with Velcro added in the corners, very happy with the install and how well the fabric functions
