So i just bought this pop up trailer and its fine for this summer but will need some canvas work for hunting turkeys in Nebraska in November. Anyone here do this or know someone that does reasonably? I havent priced it yet so i have no idea what to expect.

With the right needles you can do it at home. Gilsdorf canvas for material, or that rv place just east of 25 and prospect.
How bad is the area that need fixing? Ive done lots of rv repair work if you need a hand.

A couple areas, this is the biggest. I do need some clips or whatever to reattach it to the top in some places.

Agree on patch and sew. Simple back stitch will be easy to do and look machine done if you keep your threads even and your line straight. A curved needle will be what you need since you can't be on both sides at once.
a little fabric , rubber cement and thread and it will be stronger than new .
