Hello.

I have a old triangle trailer tent left or side fire a while now. I plan to get a cover for it, perhaps a Kampa one..... But my question is whether there is a treatment to make the original tarpaulin cover more weather resistant. It's been outside a lot , and although it's waterproof, the top of the cover is fading in colour and I think will eventually rip. Is there an oil based treatment or something I could use?

I assume you mean, "I have an old Trigano trailer tent left outside for a while now"?

The Kampa ones are good we used on on our FC for a while and it did the trick.
All the covers fade a bit, ours did, but I would never think about painting anything on it.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

If you mean the transit cover, try Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care.
