To make sure our vinyl stays supple and prevent cracking, we apply a conditioner to it after we clean it. I was so very impressed with the results! I never thought we’d get those marks off. Be careful to pull the vinyl taut while you are wiping, and use a gentle pressure–you don’t want to rip your tenting–then just rinse it clean. We sprayed a little Multi-Surface Cleaner on the vinyl and wiped it clean with a cheap, white eraser sponge. With the bunkends pushed in, we extended the canvas over the ends of the camper. 303 Products sent us some of their Multi-Surface Cleaner, so we tried it out on those ugly black marks.

The top of the bunkend tenting is made of vinyl, not canvas, and no matter how hard we scrubbed, we could not get those marks to come out. We’ve had some nasty black marks all over the top of the bunkend tenting ever since we bought the PUP. We love that stuff and have been using it since we first bought the camper, so when the nice folks at 303 Products contacted me and asked me if I’d like to try a few other 303 Products they thought would be perfect for pop up campers, I was only too happy to oblige. If we’ve had to do some pretty heavy duty scrubbing, we’ll spot check our canvas for water resistance and treat as necessary with 303 High Tech Fabric Guard. You can read all about how we clean our pop up camper canvas here. Whenever we are cleaning the camper, we give the canvas a good scrub down first. 😉 After 22 days on the road, she was looking a little haggard, but we knew under all that road grime, she was really very lovely. The first thing we did when we got back from our 4,500 mile road trip, was give our little PUP a bath… okay, maybe not the first thing, but it was not long after.
