Hi all, having finally erected my little Elza, I found that some of the rubbers that hang the bedrooms have perished, also a couple of rubbers near the bottom of the tent. I have no idea where to get replacements, indeed, if I can. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks so much.

Might be worth giving Forest Camping a ring- they were very helpful when I bought my canopy for my elzas from them- I would think they carry Cabanon spares etc as they are a main Cabanon stockist-or they could advise on what best to use. You can buy generic replacement rubbers like these in most camping shops- these might do the job? I used some on my Orchy canopy when I broke one of the pegging loops. Hopefully someone else will be along in a minute with more expert advice!

I'm not sure where you are in the country, Attwolls in Gloucester sell spares in their shop and they have a website but I have no idea whether you can buy the spares on their website.

Where are you?

Hi to both of you and thanks for the advice. I am 'Oop North', so not much good re Atwolls in Gloucester. There's no harm in ringing them though, re the generic rubbers, they look like they could be what I am looking for, for the bedrooms, the rubbers that are at the bottom where you peg out are much smaller but I am much more optomistic now that I can find some. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I feel much happier.

Rubbers? You can get them anywhere that sells caravan or tent spares, or at any of the online camping retailers. Just a rubber band after all.

Fantastic. I continue to show my ignorance. All my tents are in the 'new' stage so I have never had to look for spares of any kind really. The Cabanon is much older and the hanging rubbers have perished. Common sense told me that there would be spares somewhere but I wasn't sure if they had to be any particular type or strength etc, same with the bottom ones. Anyway, thanks to help on here I am sorted. I always appreciate the time people give to my sometimes obvious queries.
