Just had my front one replaced at the dealers under warranty Friday. They replaced the whole thing, tent and all.

Thank you. I believe they are the thermarest bunks but I haven't had any other issues other than this hem splitting. Gwh1bass- I did the same for over a year and it worked fine. Mine are in the top corners where there is a lot of tension, so the temp fix did not last long. I have 3 bunks. 2 have very small splits. One is now about 10 inches long. I'm going to remove that bunk tent and remove the hem in that section and see if I can replace with another type of water proof fabric. If doesn't work I'll take it in so nothing to lose. I'll let you know if it works.

Dutchmen(Aerolite'so parent company)has a terrible reputation in helping owners with older models.
You might contact one of the canvas replacement companies, like Bear Creek Canvas.
Or there should be a manufacturer's tag inside one of the tent seams. You could try contacting them.
Hope yours aren't the infamous Thermarest tent ends.

Sure do near the hinge for the fold out bunk on a 2006 KZ 23CFK, probably about an inch long. I dont see how to repair this without replacement. I'll probably look for some white gorilla tape to keep a determined mosquito from entering.
I have also had to add additional self tapping screws to secure the plastic tent hem to the metal framing.

My vinyl tents are in great shape but are starting to split/separate from the camper. There is a tough plastic hem line where the tent is fastened to the camper, but it is starting to split at the corners. I am sure I can fix this myself if I can find the plastic hem line. Anyone else ever have this issue? 2005 Aerolite Cub 23tt
