I opened up my 2002 conway cruiser earlier and discovered I had a hole the size of a 10p piece.Also discovered the plastic is coming away from the canvas at the bottom of the window.
Any ideas on repairs or replacement.I think replacement would be the preferred option but I don't know if that's possible. If so, any ideas on cost?

I would think that a replacement window is the only option but any professional canvas repair company should be able to assist if you explain the requirements and size of window required etc. They will un-stitch the old window and re-fit a new one with heavy duty cotton and most likely apply a sealing agent prior to fitment around the perimeter to stop any water leaks.

TVS (Tent Valeting Services) in Bolton will be able to fix it and can arrange for collection and return of your canvas (which you'll have to remove, of course. Not sure I'd trust anyone else with the job...

Cabbieman I see you are in Coventry, there is a company next to jacksons of old arley who do repairs, never used them but jacksons recommended them to us, if you ask in jacksons I am sure they will give you the contact details, the company is between them and West Midlands caravans
