Ok, so let’s start with the obvious stuff, shall
we? Mould and mildew are by far the biggest
killers of most types of fabric, especially canvas.
In fact, it’s the main reason you should never
fold or pack anything canvas away while it’s still
damp. If you’ve got no choice in the matter, the
best practice is to open it all back up and let it
air out as soon as you get home. Mould thrives
on dirt, moisture and decreased air flow, so
simply storing a camper trailer in a damp place
will leave it susceptible to the onset of mildew.
Oh, and here’s a tip for ya — never wrap a tarp
directly over your camper to protect it from the
elements. It restricts the air flow, which increases
the humidity and only really makes matters
worse!
Another good habit to get into is brushing the
canvas down before you pack it away. It might
take an extra minute or two to get rid of the
extra dust, but it’ll go a long way in keeping the
canvas clean for the long haul!MOULD THRIVES ON DIRT, MOISTURE
AND DECREASED AIR FLOW
Brush any dust off before you pack up to ensure
it doesn’t embed itself in the canvas over time
