Hi all,

I would like some advice on replacing the perished rubbers on my 20 year old Cabanon Chalet frame tent.

The tent itself is still in v.good condition but the rubbers are showing their age.

All advice grately appreciated

Thanks in advance

Ian

You can buy replacement rubbers that have a 'T' shaped section to hook into the existing loop on the tent.

Hi Bernie,

Thanks for the response, I dont suppose you know anywhere that sells them ?

Sorry to be a pain....lol

Any caravan shop will have awning rubbers, same thing, all sorts of sizes.and theyre really cheap.  if you have a canvas loop that the rubber is attached to , you can  just pass the rubber through it and loop the new rubber through itself .

loads available on here

I've seen them in various camping shops, but if you get stuck you can get them on Ebay.

I had to replace some of the rubbers on my sunncamp gite 5. I got the replacement rubbers from go outdoors (they were literally only pence each) and attached them to the canvas loops with split rings (like the ones on key-rings) Only thing I need to watch out for is making sure they are totally dry before storing the tent in case they rust and stain the canvas.

the ones above are excellent but can be a begger to get through the original loops

 I always pulled the loop through with a piece of cord.

To replace the peg rubbers just buy form any camping shop online or otherwise and thread as per my doodle below-

Hi again all,

Thanks ever so much for your great response to my dilema, you have given me some great options.

I'm sure my tent will now be as sturdy as ever with all your ideas.

Many thanks again
