hi guys ,well im now in the folding camper brigade ,and would like some info from you in the know. We have just purchased a pennine aztec but ive noticed the pole as you enter through has a slight kink in it , so im looking to replace my question is where would i source one from ? also can i steam clean the bed mattreses, im sure someone on here will know, thanks in advance.
Not sure if you can still get replacement frame poles for the Aztec. Pennine do sell replacements for their current models. TVS (Tent Valeting Services) in Bolton may be able to help - (ring them as they are not quick at answering emails I am told). It might be easier to find a fabricator locally who can either straigten your pole or make you a new one.
Yes you can steam clean the bed but you would have to make sure it was fully dry before folding it back up in the camper - a few days in a hot conservatory or centrally heated house or you will end up with mould. If it's that bad I would go with Nixtoo's Ikea option. If not think of it just like a hotel bed that's had loads of people sleep in it before you and just put a cover on it.
Well ive cleaned (or the missus has) the mattreses with the steamer ,seemed ok and now drying as 89angela has said , i am going to try to straighted the pole myself but think its beyond my skills ,so will probably find a local fabricator to do the job,will let you know how i get on . But i have a dilema , ive noticed today that the canvas has 1 very small hole , what is the best solution for this , ive read somewhere that there is a glue , could i use this ? or patches any help will be great guys.
Tenacious tape is great for small holes that are not under stress,sticks really well,but can be removed without leaving a residue. Apply both sides of the hole.
