Hi
Does anyone know if you can replace the bit inside the pole that pop into the various holes to adjust the tension on a folding camper cabin TIA

Yes, they are called button springs or similar, ebay have them.

Cheapest I found was actually go outdoors (here), just ordered them but not yet collected them so can't say what quality they are..

Hiya
Thanks for the info, daft question but do you have to take the pole out of the canvas to fit them and if so is it a tricky job??

Never had to do that on any of our Raclets.....

Remove the top pole that adjusts outwards completely, then you can either use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the old button spring or a long screw driver to shove it down out the way.

Then its just a matter of fitting the new spring in......

Its literally a job that takes minutes. Very easy to do and worthwhile if there are any that are not very "springy" anymore.
