Hello, I am looking for somewhere or someone to make a replacement tent for my Wildernest. Has anyone had luck with this? Unfortunately my tent is past the point of repair and cleaning. Thank you!

I've searched the net extensively for a nest replacement tent, Montana Canvas, who did a beautiful job on one, is not interested in making them.
Another guy had one done by RV Workshop. I have not reached out to them to see if they are interested in making more.

Someone on this board had one done by canvasreplacements.com
They said it was around $1000.

I reached out to rvworkshop.com who has a listing on their site for Wildernest replacements. You provide them your old tent so they can use it as a pattern and they send you out a new one. Price was 1275$ with shipping to the lower 48 included. They sent me out some fabric samples and they seemed fine for the purposes of the tent(go look at a new tent trailer for reference on the fabric if you need). I also asked about having a stove jack installed by them for running a wood stove and they weren't interested in doing that.
Compared to the cost of a comparable rooftop tent that you would mount on some sort of roof rack system, not including the obvious convenience of the Wildernest, the cost of replacing the tent is really not that bad. I would imagine with reasonable care, you could easily get another 20-25 years out of the new tent.

Those prices are crazy. Bear creek canvas did an amazing job on my replacement tent for around $400

I'm working on a possible supplier of 'nest tents. will update the group as soon as I can confirm they can do it. it sounds like it's going to be about $800 from this source. its still expensive but..

I went to visit the supplier a couple weeks ago. it looks like they're good with the estimate of around $800. I'm planning on sending my tent in the next week. I'll be the guinea pig and let you know how it goes as soon as i get it back.

Hey Guys,
I put a call in to Bear Creek Canvas. They told me the cost for a replacement tent was $500-550 for the WilderNest. I think I may give them a go.
Have to send in the original for patterning, of course. They told me they are currently about 10-12 weeks out for delivery, but I figured I might as well get it in to them now in hopes of being able to have the rest of the shell re-habbed by then.
I'll be sure to update the progression.
-Rich

Yeah I contacted Bear creek about 6 weeks ago and this was the email I got back from them.
"Hi Evan,
I’m not sure if Al called you back but just a heads up that the price will be $650.00 and that would include shipping. The vinyl color is an off white and the canvas color choices are gray, green or tan. We would require for you to send in your tent top for us to use as a template. At this time we are approximately 12 weeks out. No payment is required until we are ready to ship back to you."
Not sure why I was quoted $650 instead of 500-550 but I will ask them before I order a new tent at the end of the summer.
