I just got the xt650 lodge mine has no problems at all with the canvas but i can say the poles are hard to get down and the way you attach the canvas with the plastic strips kind of a joke i added more screws to mine.

Other than that i like it hopfully the poles get better in time.

But i think there venting system could use alittle work or some other design.sucks when you have to loosen the gas cap to vent.
Other than that they rip thru the ice.
