Just bought a coleman comfort double airbed. Have just blown it up to test before we go away for 2 weeks at weekend. After i worked out how to inflate, the valve (A) is quite difficult to extend, i have 2 little red bits spare. They were between the valve and stopper where it curls round. I cannot see any mention of them in the instructions and was wondering do they serve a purpose or are they just packing.

Input appreciated. Cheers.......

Cheers guys.

Hope the rain stays away for saturday Steve, at least until we are pitched. We're aiming to be there for 11 to give more time to get the awning up, what about you?

HI Bill

We usually get there about 11am as well but it i am towing a trailer this year so may be a little later, also with it being a tent pitch it all depends who is on and whether they have packed up.

Just packing clothes now and with the rest of the family being females taking some sorting out. I

Weather forecast does not look too bad for saturday

 

cheers

steve

Sounds so familiar that, I only have 3 so i understand your problems with 4  Have spent the last couple of days packing the van, i never remember having this much stuff when we camped.

Last forecast i saw ffor saturday showed rain coming across but either not gettin as far as us or at least arriving later. Not sure how much help i will be with the awning so the sooner we get pitched the better.

Less than 36 hours now and counting

Glad it was not just me with those red bits, havin a bad day

I've taken those little red things with me on each trip. One member of the family always finds them, asks what they are for and are told

 'I don't know but whatever you do don't lose them!!!'

I shall now happily put them in the bin, thats if I can find where I put them on the last trip!

Oh, I did wonder. But after carefully checking them in/out of the box for the past year, Im going to keep them just incase they become useful for something obscure !

I was wondering just the same and was meticulously replacing them every time! I though they were some kind of at-a-glance anti-tamper/failure visual warning (i.e. if the stopper came out, the red bit would fall out). 'Doh!
