Hey!!! Love the Wisconsin flag! Fellow Badger here! I really enjoy your videos - working on a total restore of my pop up and have found your videos invaluable!
😂😂Made me crack up with your duct tape repair! Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work!🙏🏼
We have a 2003 coleman fleetwood utah, how do you fix/repair tears in the plastic windows right were the plastic connects to the zipper?
Got the same problem
This couple is legend with the info thanks so much for all the info 😀
Glad I came across all you're guys videos! Tons of good inspiration for our renos on our pop up.
It's Poppin baby!!!
Thank you for this video. It has helped me a lot with repairs on my hybrid camper. Also, for anyone wondering, super sticky awning tape and JB SuperWeld with the UV light work great for repairing cracks in plastic
Thanks for the great info. We have a small “almost” tear where our bunk end roof bracket is rubbing on a corner. I’m going to use the gorilla glue tape to keep it from getting worse! Might even put some in the other corners for reinforcement
Thank you for sharing the info, for repair materials. I like to keep a little of several types to repair any problem that arises, and will now add some to our small travel repair kit. We look forward to your next vid, as always great content. Thank you so much. Hope to see you out there.
Thanks for the great video - we have several holes in a Eurovan pop top screen and your recommendations were the best!
I'll try the rtv. We found that the spray flex seal works for small holes. Ours is white at the top and the white flex seal blends right in. Spray a little on on inside and a little on the out.
Great video, love learning from you guys!
We have a few tears/breaking away from seams where the vinyl windows meet the zipper. I think this has been caused due to the canvas/vinyl shrinking over the last 20 years.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?
I knew grabbing those irons off the side of the road would pay off again! Currently using them for laminating wood veneer
Where do you find the items epically the peel and stick colored vinyl
do you have a video on repairing small seam rips?
Thank you very much. This should be a great help.
with the iron on stuff will a heat gun work for a on the sit fix
Thank you very much this information will come in handy in my old girl
Just got our firts pop up and one bed is leaking due to pin holes and tiny tears,tried the patches they didnt work they came off after the rain both the clear and the “canvas” ones trying clear gorilla on the inside and thinking of using clear flex seal on the outside.Your thoughts on this? From quebec canada 👌 love your videos
I know that I asked thugs question on another video. But what do I do about sagging canvas/vinyl above the beds
Do you think pop rivets will hold in the ceiling, I’m putting straps in to hold my door while traveling. Thought about screws but thought they may loosen over Time.
I have a small hole where the pole has worn through thebtop of the bunk end. Any suggestions on how to fix that ?
I have used Shoe Goo to repair pin holes and small tears. It works awesome, super cheap and doesn’t harden up in the tube. Previously I used Gear Aid seam grip. It was very pricey and would harden in the tube quickly, super frustrating. I have also used the Gorilla Tape. It’s great too!!
Awesome, thanks for the suggestions!
I use Shoe Goo + a piece of canvas to repair patches. Plus about 1 x day for the shoe glue smell to dissipate!! I guess that is similar to using an iron on patch without the heat.
@@carlschwarz4935 that’s a great idea. I will try that.
Hello there, could you adice how to fix saggy ceiling sue to water leak?
Hi what solvent you used to clean the canvas before patching?
Thanks again for another great video!! Right on time! Also, do you have a video about repairing Jayco crank? Possibly stripped?
No - at least not at this time.
what would.you use on the bunk end seams where the end meets the side the stitching is thin?
I just got a pop up that someone cut off on the covers off the zippers and left the screens what is the best way to replace the fabric or vinyl for this. I am thinking the plastic vinyl because of weather to keep the beds dry.
Can you fix the vinyl on the seam?
Any advise on larger tears in canvas?
Suggestion: When patching a hole/tear in vinyl, round off all corners of the patch, then if you're using a scrap of vinyl, use HH66 adhesive. Apply adhesive to both the patch and the wall, allowing them to dry a few seconds before applying. You can also apply HH66 to seams and pinholes for waterproofing. Now, I want to see how you repaired a hole in a screen, so I'm off to that video. Thanks!
My canvas has a hole in it and the inside is a fuzzy texture. I’m thinking tear aide type A on the outside. With something on the inside. What tape would you suggest to repair it?
Great video. We have a 2000 starcraft Spacemaster and we are noticing the Velcro is old or non existent where there obviously was some at one time. How would you replace the Velcro?
I would just run to the local store and pick up some velcro, whether that's self-adhesive or regular. If its regular, just staple it into place if that's how it was originally done - not sure what velcro you're looking to replace.
Thanks for this great video. We have come into possession of a 10 year old Jayco 1006. While setting it up, one of the seams ripped. Well, the stitching let go. Have you had any experience with that sort of repair? No tear to the fabric, just needing to replace the stitching.
Fortunately, no. However, as I'm sure you guessed, it'll just have to be restitched.
We use the quick stitch awl and needle. Have you had any experience with this? I have a significant tear in my seam above my beds
I managed to sew our 20 inch opened seam by hand. I used a slightly hefty need and some strong linen thread. If that seems too overwhelming , I am sure you can find a place that deals with awnings, outdoor fabrics or even sails and they would have the equipment to restitch.
@@rhondabasil5203 did you ever get that fixed above your bed? Ours just ripped. I'm not sure how to fix it! Any advice?
How about the canvas above the beds where the poles go, the one im working on is worn from the poles in a pretty large spot at the ends. What do you suggest for that?
Did you ever come up with a solution? We just got a rip in ours. It'll be right above our heads when we're sleeping. And, it always rains when we go camping!
I was airing out our camper today. Came home and found the slide out end window ripped 3/4 of the top part of the window at the seams from the seam to the roof.😭😭 We are suppose to get our new to us pop camping trip on Saturday. Any suggestions, besides canceling our trip. Maybe a temp repair is the gorilla clear tape. Idk. Thanks for any help.
Best advice for fixing windows on a 97 Viking pop up? We just purchased last week, and one of the vinyl windows are in terrible condition. The zipper itself is fine, but all of the vinyl has separated, and I'm not sure where to start, and haven't found much info online.
Hey. Love your videos. Thought I'd ask for your opinion. We recently bought a 1980's Starcraft Pop-up. The door is missing the part the slides up and down for privacy. . Its just the screen. Do you have any suggestions to fix this? I can't find anything online. Thanks.
I'm having trouble envisioning what exactly your talking about. Feel free to email at itspoppincampers@gmail.com, send some photos, and we can take a stab at helping problem-solve.
@@ItsPoppin Thanks. Will do.
Email sent.
quick question. Bottom part of canvas popped out of the track, not the whole wall, just near the corner. What's the best way to get the section back into the guide track?
Does anyone know where I can find the iron on patch for larger holes in the canvas? I didn’t see the iron on patch when I first looked but I am not totally sure what I am looking for. Thanks!
Same need to know lol
What do you recommend for failing zippers? I have a main zipper missing teeth at the main cabin to forward pop out bed junction
Are you fucken brain dead replace the zipper you idiot
Clear shoe goo is an incredible hole/leaking seam/tear repair. I had the seams in all four corners leaking. They will never leak again!
Thanks for the tip!
Shoe goo is an awesome product we use it at work to glue in seals on metal shot blasters.
I don’t know if I have canvas or vinyl! I’ve looked online and I feel uneducated not being able to tell the difference!
How can I figure this out?
Can you use flex seal on pop up canvas
The tape?
Stacy I used it on my roof seem on my metal roofed coleman. I filled it with 5200 marine epoxy and then white flex tape all the way front to back.
Just wanted to be sure. The high heat was not an issue on the vinyl? It didn't affect the material at all?
Thoughts on Gorilla Waterproof Patch & Seal Tape?
For what application?
New pop up owner. Any repair suggestions when you are missing teeth on your canvas’s zipper?
Finally found someone that can help me!!!!, Thank you ahead of time...where can i buy the weather plastic strip that's attached to the pop up door frame where i attach my canvas and seals the door to botg sides of the canvas...we have an old 90's cooman chesapeake which we like a lot but since colman doesn't do pop ups anymore i can't find it...i actually don't even know the name of it...once again ..thank you and sorry to bother guys...keep it up!.
I’m not sure exactly what part you’re talking about, but you may be able to find what you need at colemanpopupparts.com/
@@ItsPoppin i'm talking about the plastic strips attached to the door frame where you fit the canvas on each side of the frame
Is there some kind of water proofing spray I could get for a vinyl popup that has started to crack? Would some kind of silicone or liquid rubber(flex seal / KIWI camp dry) spray be safe to use? Obviously I can use the lock tight for pinhole leaks, but I’d like to seal up the cracking if I can.
What paint and painting techniques did you do to update all your refurbished popup I am needing to do that
We did an entire video devoted to painting the inside: ua-cam.com/video/yrLhSLyFe4I/v-deo.html
Our little Violet lives in pretty hot and dry climate. We are noticing that some of the ceiling plastics are coming off because the glue holding them down is melting over time. Any suggestions on the glue to use?
Flex seal the whole top of the canvas!
How would you repair the edging of the canvas where the canvas meets the top of the wall of the slide-out? There is a plastic strip that serves as a bridge between the canvas and the wall of the slide-out. The canvas is sewn into that strip of plastic, which is attached to the wall of the slide-out. There's a 6-8 inch strip where that plastic is tearing and so the canvas is pulling away from the wall of the slide-out. Not sure what to do about it.
Best option is to replace that plastic piece and resew the canvas to the plastic. If you want, a clear piece of gorilla tape might be a expedient option, but won't look as good.
Hi I have a 2000 jayco rainier pop up mise destroyed the whole canvas do you know where I can get a replacement or if someone can make it? Thanks
Bear creek canvas, canvas replacements, pop-up parts or RV workshop are all options. I've heard good things about bear creek. Replacement lead times are like 4-6 months for everyone.
Great thanks!!!
Thank you for your great videos. We are new to pop up campers and just bought a 2006 Jayco Select. On our slide out corner (right by where you are using duct tape), the hard plastic that the vinyl is sewed to has ripped about 3". I can't get my sewing needle through the plastic and would appreciate any other suggestions.
We have the exact same problem and have not fixed it yet. I think a sewing awl would probably work best.
@@ItsPoppin Thank you!
What if it's ripped on the seams ?? the camper I just bought has 2 large rips on the seam where you push out the back to make the bed. HELP!
Best bet is to stitch it.
Very good unfortunate video I am from Chile and I speak Spanish is the only video I found to be able to repair my pop up you do not have any option to put the subtitles in Spanish from the origin of the video I would appreciate a lot Oka blessings and greetings from Chile
Lol that was the cheesiest opening seen ever 😂
A quick tip we just learned: round the edges on your patches so they're less prone to peeling off.

I'm so upset my popouts are ripped
Does this actually work oh I want to have happen is to be shown how to fix it not a skit
My iron burned an even bigger hole in my canvas and the patch didn’t stick. I don’t recommend this method
Stop wasting time.
