Hi

Does anybody know where I can buy the Sun Canopy for the Cabanon Biscaya 370 canvas tent please?  It looks like the Biscaya has been replaced by the Awaya but I can't seem to find anywhere that sells the canopy???

Help!!

Hi, no not tried them yet, I looked on the websites of Forest Camping and Camperlands etc and they didn't seem to sell them, I hadn't thought of them ordering me one direct from Cabanon.  Thanks for that, I'll give them a ring and see what they say.   THANK YOU

Hi 2old2camp.
             Have you got the "Cotton" canvas Biscaya or the "All Season Polyester" canvas version?.

As Cabanon are still making the "All Season Polyester" model but not anymore the "Cotton" that as you rightly say has been replaced by the Awaya 370.

I did have at first the "All Season Polyester" Sun-Canopy for my "Cotton" Biscaya 370, but sold that to someone on here for £50, when my "Cotton" Sun-Canopy, finaly arrived from France after waiting 3 months!.

Anyway the "All Season Polyester" Sun-Canopy is a good match, the canvas colour compliments the "Cotton" canvas, and although the zip is blue instead of brown, you don't notice that as once fitted the zip is hidden.

The only other difference is the silver colour of the Aluminium poles, unlike the "Cotton" Sun-Canopy which comes with Steel Golden colour poles, like what the "Cotton" 370 uses, so not to much of a fashon disaster.

If you realy must have the "Cotton" Sun-Canopy, then it would probably be best to write to Cabanon at Dunkerque, and nominate a UK dealer for it to be shipped to, the 2009 retail price for the "Cotton" Sun-Canopy was £139 and the "All Season Polyester" model was £141.

So with shipping etc I guess you will b looking at just under £200 nowadays.

Jandstot on here, has recently had a Sun-Canopy from Cabanon for his now discontinued Biscaya 320 and I know that Emma123 on here has been scouring the land, for the last 3 years for a "Cotton" Sun-Canopy for her "Cotton" Biscaya 370 without success.

Did you obtain your "Cotton" 370 Biscaya recently, as I did notice one going on Ebay, a couple of weeks back for around £700 and that was without Sun-Canopy, but maybe a coincidence?.

Hi thanks for all that information!

We have the cotton canvas and we bought it off Preloved not EBay.  I think if we can get the all season polyester, if it fits as you say it does, then it could save us a lot of time and disappointment chasing the cotton one!!!  I tried Forest Camping but they said they could not get hold of one and they didn't know anywhere else I could try.

Thanks for the help!

Hi 2old2camp.

                     The "Cotton" is quite rare in the UK, so you got a lucky find there, most of the "Cotton" versions were sold in France etc, can't remember how many but it was quite a big number, someone mentioned on here.

We love our "Cotton" 370, it's a very well made tent, and oozes quality, we treated ours to a Isabella med sized awning bag for the main canvas, and a Gelert 100lt Cargo bag for the ZiG, the poles go in a Isabella pole bag, it all makes life a little easiar.

Also if your thinking of adding carpets to protect the ZiG and SiG, we use a Outwell Minesota 6 carpet for the living area, and a Outwell Wolf Lake 5 carpet for the bedroom pod, pretty good fit, and the pole feet help keep the living area carpet in place.

Also we chuck a tarp under the ZiG and for stoney/sandy pitches use a Rubber/Butyl 1mm thick PondLiner 12ftx15ft to give the utmost protection to the ZiG.
