Hi all. I have just bought Twitty our new or rather old Conway Cardinal and although in good condition needs some TLC. The problem is I cannot find any of the parts I am looking for and am getting frustrated. is there anywhere you can suggest I can buy the bed rollers, elastic lugs, bedding pole clips etc and how I can get advice about changing the light and water pipes etc. I am somewhat green.
I went from tent to a 1992 caravan which I love but due to space now have moved to a 1995 Conway.....which I cannot see to find anything for So any help/advice would be hugely appreciated

Hi bramble I may be able to help as we dismantled our cardinal last year and knowing how rare parts are I tried to keep all the useful bits.
do you have an email address or are you on face book so I can message you?
don't want to put mine on here as last time got inundated with emails for parts LOL

you could also ask on the Conway owners site as their forum is now back up and running !

Aside from sourcing parts from old units - is there anywhere to buy new. I have tried looking at building a camper, renovating etc etc but seem to be reverted back to Conway/Pennine or Dandy sites - none of which seem to show the parts I need. I have sourced some lugs from a boat site but other bits and pieces have me lost I think my terminology may be amiss I thought I would make such headway this weekend but after visiting local caravan suppliers etc found I was stuck A little soul destroying lol

Hi Russ Boy
Thank you
I have looked but they were closed when I found the link I have mailed them though
I thought there would be more places online with advice and 'how to' and 'where to' pages as its a bit daunting

Hi Alyson I have tried to find you on face book but no joy.
If you go to Conway owners club site and click onto the forum and then on Conway units look at the first post cardinal heating and my reply my user name is mam0809. click on my profile and send me an email via there with the parts you are looking for and I may be able to help.

Hi I dont know why - I have removed my altered my privacy settings. Would you try Nigel as I am also trying the forum but seem to have some kind of blocker as internet explorer keeps refusing to load the forum. I have even removed ie11 to see if it is the new settings but no sucess.

I seem to be failing at this  lol
