Am a little stuck. I need to either get a new inner for my Barbados or have it repaired. It has ripped where it attached to the central pole and around the attachment points - does anyone know where I can get a replacement inner?
I also need to get my Biscaya repaired as some of the attachment points for the inner have come away - I've contacted several places but I really want someone who knows the tents and Cabanon and can carry out a repair without me having to put the tent up and show them exactly what the problem is.
Suggestions are much appreciated.

TVS at Bolton are a Cabanon service agent if that helps.

For the inner I guess you mean the Black thingy's thatvare welded to the ZiG for securing the bottom of the inner.

Cabanon do a repair kit for those points, but it is not the ideal solution, as it is just a tube of special glue, and a couple of spare Black thingy's.

To do the job properly the Black thingy's need to be Hi-Frequency welded to the ZiG to make a permanant repair, TVS have the equipment but they may not have the jig for the Black thingy.

If you write to Cabanon (Snail Mail) at Dunkerque, they will send the repair kit out to you FOC.

Although it may take a couple of months for them to respond!

Thanks - I spoken to TVS and they can do it. It's not the black things it is the attachment points on the inner tent - they need stitching back on but it's an industrial stitching job not me with my needle and thread!

Yep, the Cotton loops at the top of the Bedroom Pod, which hook onto the "S" Hooks, did come away when Mrs Francais took a tumble, and grabbed hold of the Bedroom Pod to break her fall.

Nothing to do with the bottle or two of vin rouge that we had just polished of, of course!

Anyway I thought it was very clever of Cabanon to design the Bedroom Pod attaching points in this way, we had 4 of the Cotton loops come away, when this happend in Frejus last July.

Luckily in my Camping repair box, I had some heavy duty cotton thread and needle to match, so made a repair that is totally undetectable.

That's what I like about Cabanon, they think of everything.
