Can anyone suggest the best place to order replacement tent poles from?

It is to replace 2 sections on a pole from my Vango Colarado 800DLX.

And then I'm going to sell it. Since we got the caravan, the tent has only been used for one night in the past 2 years (thats when the pole broke, high winds and no one sober enough to venture out to check the guy ropes!!!  LOL)

Your local camping shop should be able to provide these. Take the pole you want to repair in with you so they can give you the right size. Most tent shops sell the generic ones in different thicknesses that you cut to size yourself (masking tape and junior hacksaw) but you might be lucky and get one from an ex display Colorado......my camping shop is pretty good about passing these out gratis if you got the tent from them in the first place.

Thanks for that Val. But I just cant be bothered going into town to a camping shop to be told they dont have what i'm after!!!!! Happens all the time, even if they do tell you on the phone that they have the item in stock.  

I've managed to find a couple of sites so I'll measure up later and get some replacements ordered. Internet shopping is just great!
