sorry, have never owned a raclet, so can't answer much of this except for two 'generic' points. Tenacious tape which can be bought off ebay or at camping suppliers will repair the canvas probably even better than sewing it unless you have major skill with a needle.

 Also available from camping suppliers are 'feet' to go on the ends of the bed legs and stop them sinking. They are usually just a few pence. I hope that's a start at least!

Hi - You will have to get the canvas and poles of the old tent out at the same time as yours is pitched then you can see if it would fit. Spare poles are always useful and you will probably find that you can make use of some of them.

You will acquire a vast selection of pegs if you camp for more than a couple of years. Unless you always camp in sheltered spots you will need something a bit more substantial than the bent wire ones - any camping shop sells them. Delta pegs are recommended on here and you could put a mixture all round as you are building up your collection ( I'd recommend you start off with about a dozen heavy duty ones and build it up from there) 

For outside storage, if your transit cover is watertight, you shouldn't need anything else but make sure you put something under it to raise the middle so any water runs off. Open it up at every available opportunity to air it and make sure there is no mould or mouse damage.   

Hi

If you email me i can send you some raclet instructions :)  They are in French but it has pictures but i could send you the conway one's i have too if you think they may help?

i have sent an email requesting them too. Will see what i can do when they arrive

Your mention of the Bamboo printed material reminded me of our old Raclette TT.

That was the best unit we ever had and we have had the lot. Tents, TTs, Campervans and Caravans, but the Raclette took us all over Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales, being towed by Morris Minors.

Claire i see that you've got yours but Savotu's keep getting sent back :(  Sorry Savotu, if i receive an email i don't understand why it won't let me reply?

Do you have another email address i could send them to?

i also owned a raclett with the bullrush interior is was huge only used it once went to the campshop for some bits and bobs and came away with a sprite musketeer wont go back to caravans though
