Cleaning a wall tent

[car]

Hello to all, I'm looking at an used Montana Wall tent from Cabelas. From the looks of the pictures of the tent it looks dirty for being used 7 or 8 times and it is 8 years old. How hard is it to clean the canvas?

I have had my Montana canvas tent for about 8 yrs and have used it over a 100 days in that time. Never had a need to clean it off per se other than pine needles. Is there something odd on it as I imagine a simple hose down would take care of most dirt.

Mild soap and water, white vinegar on mold, light rinse, and let dry. After dry use canvac or similar. I have cleaned mine after really wet and dirty trips and they are still going strong.

If it's just soot and ash I wouldn't get too hung up on it. If it's mildew I'd think twice about it if it's very bad. I usually just spray mine down with a garden hose and let it dry. That's the most important thing with wall tents.

Here is a picture of it.

You could hit it with some Simple Green, rinse it really good and let it dry then retreat it. Doesn't look too bad to me.

Have you seen this tent first hand? It's hard to tell from your photo but it almost looks like mildew. If is mildew I would not buy it.

No just the pictures.

Davis tents added to their sale list yesterday. I would compare prices. If you call Davis ask for Chris and tell him I sent ya. You never know what kind of deal you can work out. How big is that tent? They have many diff sizes. A 14-16 is around $650.
