Hi every body I am a newbie and have recently bought a Cabanon Julie and was wondering if any body could tell me how I can tell the age of it?

I'm pretty sure that you are looking at the late eighties to early nineties for this one, I'm also sure that someone else on here has one and so may be able to confirm my guesstimate!

Remember though, It really doesn't matter what age a canvas tent is, as long as it has been looked after properly, it will give you many more years of comfortable camping

Have fun.

Hi Dely & welcome to the forum

We bought a Julie in 2007, which was eleven years old & had only been used once when new, then stored away, so that makes it a 1996 model.

It's a lovely tent. There are just the two of us, so we use the 3-birth sleeping pod & leave the 2-berth pod at home, then use that space for the clothes rail, shoes & the loo (it's our ensuite ). It's so quick & easy to erect, and very light with that big window in the side. I hope you have many happy holidays in your Julie Photo of ours in my gallery.

Ah, that's because I didn't like the pattern of the curtains, so I made new ones

Some camping shops have a box of odd poles, just look for one of the right diameter with a spring button fitted, cut it down to the length you need, then you can buy an end cap to fit into the end you've cut.
