Greetings from Saint Peters! My wife and I decided to pay down some bills instead of purchase a trailer this year thanks to our 5 tax credits. One week ago I purchesed a Sears Hillary Family Camping tent Model 308.771650 for $3 at an estate sale-in a great army issue duffle bag (which probably kept it from mildewing). It is canvas and 9x11x6'8" It is a great old tent, thick, and it has no holes, polyethylene bathtub floor, and does not leak, al the parts including the instructions!
You really can tell the advances made in the years since it came out-mainly having a rain fly. Here are my questions (for now)
1. How do I clean it?
2. Should I modernize the waterproofing?
3. Can I just get a tarp to make a rain fly?
4. Should I seam seal it-just in case?
5. Is there anyplace I can find more information on this tent?
Thanks! Prepare yourself for all the newbie questions, but thank you in advance!
