I need a new poptop tent. Now do I go with canvas or acrylic. My regular tent (the one I set up on the ground) is acrylic, and hardly anybody would use a canvas tent nowadays. Are the canvas poptop tents for enthusiasts committed to keep their westy in original shape, but practical people go with acrylic? Are acrylic poptops worth the extra money? Anybody with good/bad experiences with the aftermarket poptop tents from the bus depot, go westy, etc? How do they fit?
