Hi

Just a quickie. Going away next weekend for 2 nights only and do not want to put up the full awning on the Raclet TT. Is there any reason I cannot use my Sunncamp Haven side canopy at the front, to cover the door and maybe even a tarp to make a little sun shelter. Will laying the canopy over the canvas cause any waterproofing issues?
Sorry if daft question!

Thanks

The only thing I can think of is perhaps condensation between the canopy & the canvas? Certainly worth a try,

Thanks for the reply. Will give it a go. Just didn't want to damage my canvas!
