Hi Everyone,
I have a 1989 072s Skamper pop-up truck camper. I am replacing the canvas and want to replace the roof seal rubber gasket that runs in a track in the roof portion of the pop-up. I know some of you Skamper owners have done restorations of your pop-up and must have found a place to buy the roof seal. Please let me know where you found it, I have looked everywhere but have had no luck.

Thanks so much,
Claire

In case anyone is having this problem, I finally solved it by calling Northstar. Christy at Northstar was a big help. Northstar carries this gasket for $2.00 a foot. Well worth it since I had been repeatedly told this gasket was no longer made.

Claire do you have a part number for that gasket? I’m replacing mine as well on a 94 skamper
Thanks Johnny

Hi, I am new to the board and reviving this thread - I hope that this is acceptable with all of you - if not, please let me know and I'll start a new thread.

I have a '93 Skamper 17C that I am renovating. I've stripped it down to the boards, refinished the roof and ceiling, rewired the vehicle lights and interior, added a PV system, repainted the interior, rebuilt some rotted corners in the floor, and am now starting to put it all back together. I am in the same boat as the OP, I can't find the roof seals anywhere. I am unable to find the "Northstar" referenced by the OP.

I have a couple of questions. Would anyone be able to point me to Northstar - phone#, or web address? Failing finding the seals, could I just use something like a contemporary adhesive D seal like this, or perhaps even a garage door bulb seal with track from somewhere like NorthShoreDoor.

I look forward to your thoughts.

Have a look at POPUPPARTS.COM part #PA-STAR2204-1001 made for 3/8" slot

Thanks for your input! I looked at this seal but I think the rubber that joins the top of the T to the bulb is too wide for the track. Their part " PA-ATLA0591 " looks like it might fit. I have a note in with them. I'll follow up here with their response.
