Hello Jayne

When we purchased our Suncamp Scenic Plus awning it came complete with a repair kit. Are you sure you haven't got one somewhere.

Failing this try contacting United British Caravans (Newcastle upon Tyne) who may be able to help with a suggestion on repair. They are a very helpful company (I have nothing to do with them except being a customer!).

Hope you don't have to throw it away.

Its well worth asking at any caravan retailer you know.

Here in leicester the caravan centre have a department that

sells secondhans stuff and a team that alters and repaires

awnings.

Cannot be the only place that does it.

Hello Jayne,

Most awnings can be repaired if it is a straightforward rip. As Giovanni suggests contact your dealer, or any good camping shop. They should be bale to put you in touch with a tent/awning repairer.

The best way is to get it repaired professionally to ensure a good appearance and strength,I can suggest 'The canvas Repair Centre' at Branston,Burton-on-Trent they operate a collect and deliver service are very good and very quick(see other posts where they have been mentioned)

If you go to a Sailing shop, they have wide tape in various colours used for temp. repairs to spinnakers (dinghys etc) "spinnaker repair tape".

Or find a local Sailmaker in Yellow pages?
