Hi i have just picked up a canvas frame tent but have no instructions the only names i have found are Rimini on the tent bag and relum on the actual canvas.

 It is beige with a burgundy 2ft trim on the bottom and a mud flap all way around as far as i can tell it has 2 small windows and looks like the door can be made into a porch.

 It has 2 inner bedroom compartments which look like a rubber material. unfortunatly it has been too wet to attempt to put up

. Any ideas as to what this tent could look like i have tried googling the above names but no joy! Many thanks in advance

Tracy

thanks Graeme but that was what i found and it looks like fibreglass poles where as this one has metal poles. Am just wondering if what i have is a caravan awning rather than a tent but would it have the bedrooms? cant wait for a dry day to see!

Tracy

How about thisone. maybe you have a relum frame tent in a bag with the wrong name on it ?

Am a bit confused as to the inner bedrooms being made of rubber though? or do you mean just the floor of them is a rubbery type vinyl?

tracy66,

I`m intrigued as to why you don`t know what you `picked up` was it a gift or car boot bargain? do tell.

Does it look anything like this?

I would suspect that it's a Relum tent in a Royal Rimini bag. However, which model of Relum tent I couldn't say. But I can tell you that the Royal Rimini was in a darkish grey canvas.  

The rubbery inner tent floors are probably made of PVC coated polyester like ours - much less crackley and noisy than the more modern PE floors  

Hi all thanks for suggestions.

Clegg the reason i dont know what sort of tent it is because a friend picked it up at the local tip and decided i might like it!!! 

Caster it could look very much like that although where your pic has stripes this one is burgundy.it has got the mud flaps around it like that one.

Beefysmum as far as i can tell it hasnt got the corded bit you are talking about.

JK98 both the canvas tent bag and the pole bag have rimini on them and the tent bag corresponds with the colour of the tent.

The good thing is all the poles have been labled as to where they go ie front, back middle etc so hopefully should help with assembly, and my friend paid nothing for it so am not loosing anything if i find parts are missing or broken but hopefully will gain a nice canvas tent if all there.

Roll on a dry day to test it out as i like a challenge and think this might be one.

Why wait for a dry day to test it out? Put it and let it get wet, to see if you need to reproof it.

It would be so nice if it's all okay though, I love canvas tents.

There is a place called tent and awning clinic, try google, if you do need spare parts/poles

Hi beefysmum, believe me i was very tempted to put it up yesterday but my garden was so muddy i am intending to leave it up to see if it leaks.

I have been looking out for a canvas tent and that is why my friend rescued it for me the only problem is the packed tent and poles are massive much bigger than my tent at the moment. Thanks for the clinic will def give them a go if needed.

Once up (if i manage it) i will take photos and let you all know how i get on.

Tracy

get a picture on here so we can see what it looks like!!

thought that is what i had just done the pic on above message is of the tent!

Tracy, you will need the image to be uploaded to somewhere on the internet before you can link to it. Perhaps use one of your profile images and then link to that:
