My poptop canvas has never leaked on me (and I've camped in some fierce rain and wind)... of course, I sleep downstairs, so the canvas doesn't get touched while wet. Once you *touch* wet canvas, you'll get a drip that won't stop until the canvas has completely dried out. Now, the next time you are sleeping upstairs, and it's raining real hard outside, and you think of this email... don't blame me if you just *have* to reach out and see if I'm right. I distinctly told you not to touch it!!! Happy Friday the 13th, and Dry Camping To All! Tim
