Hi,

I have an 8 year old Sunncamp 450 se TT that I bought off ebay in the spring.

There seems to be an issue with the hooks that attach to the pole thta attach the awning to the main TT fram, and also the hooks that attach the front of the awning to the main part. They seem to fall out often.

Maybe this is because of their age.

I have tried pushing the hook back into the plastic bung but they do not seem to have anything to keep them in place. I presume the issue is that the hole in the bung has become too large.

Can you replace these?

Has anyone come up with a better solution?

Thanks in advance.

Neil

I just stick a 10" metal tent peg in pointy end down and use that. Never come out in a gale or anything.

I always have duck tape and insulation tape in a kit to do running repairs. One turn of insulating tape on the hook (be neat) will thicken it enough to hold till a suitable repair can be made. Most camping shops sell the plastic bung and the hook. Oh I also use small allen keys (the ones you get with flat packl furniture) if I need a hook and the shops are shut.
