Does anyone know where we can get replacement tent inners for a 1998 Conway Challenger folding camper please ?

Unfortunately we had a gas explosion in the main tent area - very luckily we all got out. The tent inners took the main force & now need replacing. The main canvas is OK.

(it was a cartridge-type gas lamp which failed one evening - the metal thread got too hot, melted the plastic body & the top fell off, hence all the gas escaped)

Thanks

Hi - thanks for your help - very useful.

As you say Gordon - we were very lucky to get out - I got 2nd degree burns on my legs from the gas explosion.

Luckily we were on a site with plenty of fire buckets, and the neighbours kept my legs watered down until emergency services arrived.

My advice to other tent campers, don't use gas lamps in tents.
