    No experience with dying canvas, but any auto or boat upholstery shop should be able to use the canvas one as a pattern.

    FYI - I bought a black canvas tarp from New Life Resources. The black leached something awful -- I had to use rubbing compound to get it out of the red paint after running the trailer through the rain.

    I then had a vinyl tarp made that was more custom fit - and it really worked well:

    No - it was just what the guy who sewed it had on hand.
