You can pick them up at any decent caravan shop. The only problem is getting the broken one out of the end of the pole and the new one to stick in.
i thought i would cut the end off and try and push the plastic insert further down the hole
Drill a hole into the plastic, screw a screw into it then pull it out with pliers. If that doesn't work try putting the end of the pole in abucket of very hot water for afew minutes
i had too change all of the clips on mine and learnt the hard way 2 things..
order the proper clips as the suncamp ones are alot stiffer and do not flex about
the easiest way to remove them and fit them is too heat the pole up on a stove, to remove the old one warm up the pole untill it softens the clip and you can pull it out.
to reefit get the pole hot and push the new one in, itl slide in around the hole punch mark on the pole and when it cools be a tight solid fit, trust me cutting and drilling is way harder.. just warm up the poles pull em out .. warm up the pole again and push the new one in

Ours broke so we dont use it. We use all that side as the kitchen so one pole in the middle works for me. If you use yours for hanging space then a real clip (not a 22mm copper pipe clip, screwed into the end of the old bit of plastic which is still stuck in the hole), is a must.
