I have no idea what the Geman equivalent could be. All i know is that canvas is a sort of cloth.

agree  Hans G. Liepert: na ja, ganz aus Leinen wird er wohl nicht sein ;O)

  -> Danke, Hans! Nein, vermutlich ist nicht nur Leinen involviert - aber ich gestehe offen, dass dies nicht mein Spezialgebiet ist. Mein Interesse an den Dingern - egal, woraus sie bestehen - ist begrenzt.
neutral  Ingeborg Gowans: caravan is ofdten the British term for "AE trailer, which one is it??

agree  M Stompor: ... ja sinngemäß das gleiche wie oben - aber "Zelttuch" finde ich hier objektbezogen präziser - und Leinen zudem irreführend; sicher "darfs" auch Baumwoll-Zelttuch "sein"! (Übrigens: Wäre "Zelttuch-Faltwohnwagen" nicht sprachlich "glatter"?)
5 hrs
  -> Danke für den Kommentar. Es gibt auch den noch "glatteren" Begriff Zeltwohnwagen, aber ich war mir nicht ganz sicher, ob das exakt dasselbe ist und würde es sicherheitshalber auflösen.
