G'day dizzy,
It's not easy to remove mould from canvas, and your success will depend on how bad the mould is, and whether you have the means in your 'workshop' to do the cleaning process.
The product mentioned as "Oxiclean" in that information has the active chemical ingredient sodium percarbonate, which is commonly used for removing mould stains from old bedspreads, fabrics, etc. Sodium percarbonate is also used by home brewing experts for cleaning brewing equipment. There are many cleaning products available in Australia that have sodium percarbonate as the active cleaning ingredient. For example, Woolies stock this product for $3.50, or this product for $2.49. What will differ between products is the concentration of the active ingredient, ie. how many gms of percarbonate per kg of product. If you are a budding chemist, the internet will show you how to make home-made sodium percarbonate in your workshop, using the required ingredients.
If you decide that a new canvas top is required for your van, your nearest canvas-maker is your first port of call to see what can be done, and how much it will cost.
cheers, Al.

Hello All. I have just found this forum. I would like to get involved with other Topagee van lovers and vanners in general. I am currently travelling Australia in my well loved, renovated Topagee. My home away from home is constantly evolving, turning heads and surprising others on where I manage to gets it. Cape York being our last achievement. Happy to be stirred towards the right forums and sites if someone has the time to comment and reply. Kind regards Mark

Hi Pixie, Welcome to the Classic Caravan forum. All you need to do is ask, plenty of help here, of course you will need to be a little more specific. Images are gold, the beauty of a forum like this is that all your photos & blog are held in one place the "Hall of Fame". There fellow members can help you out with their years of experience. Your images need to be hosted by a third party of your choice, I use Imgur link If this is a little daunting to start send your images to me, saleskeyband@outlook.com Great to hear of your project , check out others at Hall of Fame. Cheers Mustang

Hi, my partner and I are doing up a 1975 18ft De Ville which will be used as a guest room. This forum was recommended to us by a rep at Camec when we were enquirying about a new door. Have already found lots of useful info. Cheers
