Hi acamper60,

You've got me intrigued, how can you possibly have 16 electrical outputs (15 in use). What are you running? I don't use that many in the house. I also wonder how you cope in France as the vast majority of sites only give you 6 amps which severely restricts what you can run simultaneously?

One more tip someone may find useful. We had problems with the Zipped in Groundsheet initially in trying to get the tent attached to it. We now use a silison spray (from any good ironmongers) which seems to have solved the problem. Also good for all tent zips.

Hi acamper60,

Its no wonder you have a trailer to carry all that, and I thought we were "soft" campers with electric light, electric fan heater (necessary for this country - we have a greenhouse heater which is 1 or 2 kw or blows cold), fridge (we had a Waeco coolbox but as it had a fan it could be annoying at night, so we changed it for a dometic absorbtion fridge which is totally silent, it can also make ice cubes at 32C - excellent), electric kettle plus chargers etc. We have also now started to take the laptop which acts as a dvd player if no wifi on site. Pretend camping my wife calls it.

For info if you are travelling down to the Ardeche regularly and decide to break your journey, you may want to consider the new Kawan site at Lac de Orient near Troyes as its just off the main motorway south. It is a super location and the site is really nice with superb shower block and free wifi and its a campingcheque site also. Only drawback is restaurant is a bit dear but there are alternatives within walking distance but none of them are cheap either.

Hi acamper60,

Thanks for that but perhaps I am getting totally confused on materials but one thing for sure is that my 320 is definitely not polyester. It is definitely canvas but what type I'm not sure as I dont understand the differences. I have sent an email to CGI at the uksales at cabanon.com  address regarding the canopy quoting what Marsupilami said about the 320 and vis-a-vis canopies being available in Dunkerque. I'll be interested to see how long it takes them to reply and what they come up with. I'll keep you posted.

Hi Marsupilami,

I checked the Aecamp website but can't find any reference to a 320 or vis-vis canopy. Any ideas please or any other contact references?

Thanks.

Hi Marsupilami,

I seem to be having a problem getting in touch with cabanon by email. As I mentioned earlier I sent one to the uk address and I have also sent one to info at cabanon.com and have not only not received a reply but get a message from the two different source that a) in the case of the one to the uk address it could not be delivered and b) in the case of the one to Cabanon France my message had been blocked.

Have you had the same problem with emails to Cabanon? Or has anybody else who uses the forum had a problem, and if so were you able to resolve it?

Look forward to seeing any comments.

Thanks.

Hi Duffs 54,

I sent an email to the address you suggested uksales at cabanon.com as I mentioned in a previous note on the forum, but this was one of the addresses I received a note from a french mail site saying it could not be delivered. My French is not good but it seemed to offer me an alternative of cabanon_uk at hotmail.com which I am trying. Let you know if it works. Thanks anyway.
