Have you tried Ebay? though I saw some camper canvas up there a bit ago -- sorry, I don't remember the model...

Bandit......When we had our 232 cuddy, I was very close to closing a deal with a local cover shop in Indy (Smitty's) to do a camper enclosure. I would have attached to the factory bimini straight back and down.  The package included needed supports and mounts, etc.  As I recall, it was going to be ~$1,500.  But we then made the move to the 270 instead.

My point is that I'm sure you can find a local canvas shop who can do this with out much problem.  To find Smitty's here in Indy, I called 3 dealerships and asked their service deparment who they used for canvas  They all said Smitty's.  So call around Louisville to find one locally.  Or call Smitty's, their only 2.5 hours north of you!

Good Luck

Bob

I agree with RD that probably having a local canvas shop is the best way to go.  We had a camper enclosure done on our 24' the summer before we sold it (that's how it always goes).  What's nice is you can get it done the way you want it, with screens or roll up covers, whatever you desire.  I had screens on the sides, with canvas that rolled down over it on the outside adhering with velcro, and an eisenglass window in the back (gotta have that for backing up :wink: )

Here's a pic of it:

$1500 seems to be the magic number from local shops.  That is what it is here in Maine
