Does anyone know where to get the plastic hooks that are used to attach the curtains to Conway Countryman. I have found one place where they are 2.99 for 6 and was hoping to find them for cheaper if possible.

Anyone know of cheaper stockists?

Have looked on Penrose outdoors and on Pennine website They are similar prices except pennine are packs of 5,I presume they are the type you are looking for.

No unfortunately not :(

That's one idea, I need to get some though as missing some curtains (for front windows).

At the mo Im thinking Im gonna have to unstitch all the hooks and try to restitch them to new curtains that I make. Did the glue idea work? Are your curtain fittings the same?

Highbridge Caravans used to do these, but it's been over twelve months since I've been there, so I don't know if they still do, and their spare bits'n'bobs aren't shown on their website. Our Cabanon tents have the same hooks & I bought some spare hooks from Highbridge. They sew on very easily.

My curtain fittings are a T shaped piece of plastic that should be sewn on - it has holes in it - I went for glueing because i thought sewing them by hand would be very fiddley and probably painful and I am not certain my sewing machine is heavy duty enough for the job. Glueing has worked very well, don't use a lot of glue and wipe away any excess. I used glue sticks with a heat gun. If yours are the type from the pennine accessories link above, it doesnt look like it would work - do your curtains have a header tape?

No curtain doesnt have header tape, the hooks are just sewn onto them. Then there is a plastic rod on the camper that they clip onto..

JK98 did u use a sewing machine or by hand to sew them on?

I used my old Singer treadle sewing machine. If you need to sew them on by hand, you'll possibly have to use a strong darning needle to make the holes in them before you sew them on.
