I seem to recall reading that someone else was bringing out a non-canvas folding camper.

It wasn't PVC but some sort of nylon tent fabric, from what I can gather.

Does anyone know any more?

The Pennine ones are made from Acrylic based fabric, made by Isabella.  They are not PVC, but basically the same fabric used on many awnings.  It requires drying, does not breathe like cotton canvas & has little or no insulation value.  So, none of the good points of PVC or Canvas there.  It is a bit lighter in weight though...

I had a look at the acrylic pennines yesterday - they certainly look fantastic and if we were in the market for something huge I would certainly consider one.

But I KNOW that if I had to pack away any unit wet I would want to dry it and air it as soon as possible. So for me there is no advantage in moving away from canvas.
