Hi

I have an Outwell Colorado 5 which I got last year. Unfortunately in strong winds two of the plastic ferrules that join the 19mm metal uprights and the fiberglass roof polls have broken.

Does anyone know where I can get replacement parts as I've searched without luck. I've tried Norwich Camping and tentspares without any luck.

Thanks,
Richard

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately it is the bracket that joins the steel pole to the roof pole that I require.

reading outwells litreture you need to go to the retailer to order the parts for you from outwell

From speaking to a friend of mine I believe these can be ordered from Outwell at Yeomans Outdoors as she ordered some recently.

Many thanks. I've just contacted Yeomans Outdoors and they can get some of these.

Cheers,

thanks for this.  Our Colorado 5 suffered in high winds over the weekend - same deal with the plastic bits snapping.  Unfortunately the metal also twisted - need to check but I think the fabric survived.

Will go straight to Outwell and see what they've got - just out of interest - how did you re- attach the connectors to your poles?

I actually can't see why Outwell chose plastic for this part - its an obvious weak point. Vango have a welded metal D-ring and pin system on their steel poles for the fibreglass poles of the Kairos range..

I hope you get it sorted...

I would glue them in, but I have used my 2 spares without glue and they work fine.  I now have two more bent so really need to get some.  Certainly a bad design and weak point :-(
