Just Bought first pop-up for me & the family. '87 Starcraft Meteor. Got some cleaning to do & a few things for title transfer.
Would like to know
1.) where I can get a awning for a low price?
2.) How to get ride of mildew for fabric canvas?

Glad to be part of this forum been a big help w/ some issues already!

Welcome to PUX!  Can't really help you with the awning, other than to say scan Craigslist and maybe even the Pay It Forward section in this forum.  But, for mildew stains, try a mild bleach solution in a spray bottle.  Use a soft brush to work the solution in if needed.  Keep a rag handy to catch any drips.  It also may make a difference how much mildew there is - if there are large areas you are treating, you may need to re-treat the canvas to make it waterproof again.

Yes its a 10% bleach solution on the mold.  Let it sit fior a few minutes and rinse with water. Then let it air dry before putting it away.

As far as awnings are concerned not sure how much you want to spend but I love my carefree of colorado awning

the info on the awning is here.  They can be pricey but I have seen them on sale.

There is another thread on awnings.
