Ok, in all seriousness, why are canvas tops so expensive and what are your thoughts on material costs and likelihood of DIY?
Take a look at my 400DA as an example and guess what you think it would cost to make a camper canvas...material cost / time vs canvas shop.
I really like the functionality and how my top was made...Roll downs and bug screens...A total of 5 panels in the front /sides and 8 panels in the back...
My guess is $1500 in top quality materials. Mostly for 40mil clear vinyl.
