Anyone know where I can get hold of a replacement porch pole for a Vango Odyssey 400?

If it's not a current model, you could try Vango's advice here, but I'd think most "proper" camping shops would be able to supply a suitable replacement (might need cutting down either by them or yourself) if you take along the original for matching.

This company can make pole sets for any Vango tent (even pre-2008): http://www.campingspares.co.uk/acatalog/Faqs.html

The company is part of the AMG group who own Vango.

We've bought spare poles from them. Excellent!

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!

You just need to measure the diameter of the pole then order a replacement section/s from any camping shop / ebay etc., keep the old section as a guide to how long it needs to be, saw it to the right length, sand down the sharp edge and re-thread the pole elastic through the new one.

I did a search on the tent. It looks as if it has aluminium or alloy poles. Most camping shops sell general fibreglass poles (to which the above advice relates), but there may be some that stock alloy poles.

I would personally go with AMG's Camping Spares company to ensure that you repair like for like.

Thanks to everybody for the advice, I'm sure I'll be able to sort it one way or another, certainly hope so as its a cracking tent that I've had more than 10 years. The pole has actually been lost which makes it more difficult to get a match. Thanks for the help.
