Hi Jeff, 

Replying so that your post hopefully gets to the list.  I only saw it in my junk folder.

Not sure about the material. 

I hope you can find a appropriate patch.

My Bus Canvas, original, is in good shape except  two small holes where a chipmunk stowaway chewed his way out when owned by  the PO. I covered with two small turtle shaped patches.

Luckily in a protected spot from rain and not very obvious.  And I like turtles.

Good luck with your patch.

Oh one tip.  When I glued in the new screen for my bus tent the fabric glue was amazing and has held up for years.  I could look up the brand but I wanted you to know that fabric gluing on a patch is a option.

I’m looking for the brown waterproof nylon - not the beige or brown canvas.  Often tents come with patching material but not in this case.
