I have a Tacoma Tarp Tent made with RipStop.
Rain water goes through the fabric. Is there some treatment that I can apply to the fabric so rain water does not penerate the fabric ??? Possible it could be condensation on the inside of the tent, that splaters when rain drops hit the tent, which makes it seem like the rain is penetrating the fabric.

The condesation Idea is probably what is going on, but others here may have some more ideas, and ways to prevent this. I have not had my Silnylon tent out in a rain storm yet, so I have no personal experience.

I bet it's condensation. But Granger's and Nikwax make a spray on coating you could try.
