Canvas is wonderful stuff eh !!!
Old Timers knew it !!! Pre fiberglass... it worked !!!

And IMO after working with both, canvas is much easier to work with although done properly (a big consideration) fiberglass gives you a better finish. I suspect fiberglass is stronger but canvas is pretty tough stuff too. Toss up!!! Depends on your time, skills and wants

All that ...^... and the tiny consideration of Repairs... Canvas is MUCH easier ... Having done a modicum of glass work on Corvettes and “Kustom” cars at my brother’s old shop, you CAN get a Beautiful , mirror like finish with a fiberglass , but it takes a Lot of time , grinding, filing , filling , sanding , priming and more sanding ... more priming , then even more sanding , then you get to paint it , and if you stuff that , we it’s back to sanding again ... With canvas , you fill the hole with spray foam , stick on a patch , and you’re off down the road ....Canvas is pretty much accepted to be a “textured’ surface , much like a Tent , and if presented as such , then all’s well ... I think we all want that slick look , we’re brainwashed for that ... probably goes back to some kind of psychological Cleanliness Phobia ..... Mostly Marketability ... Like the Jewelers famous creed “ Shiny S**t Sells !!! “ ( True !!!)
Remember , it’s Not an RV .... It’s a Foamie !!! It’s “special” ... The thinking man’s (or Women’s) camping trailer ... We’re Pioneers here , breaking new ground learning how to adapt to the new Century ... new materials that you don’t have to wax every month , doesn’t ROT , nor de-laminate ... Practical , and Efficient .... it’s the New Frontier !!!! ....
