There's a big place in Scorrier called Caraleisure just to the east of Redruth on the old A30.

The telephone number is 01209 820451 and the post code is TR16 5BP if you have satnav or want to do an internet map search.

I've had to go there on a couple of occasions when I've been staying at Polmanter in St Ives and it's about a half hour drive.

Hope this helps,

Cheers!

Vic

Also Mount Caravans on the St Austell to Mevagissey road. They have a really good range of spares and do servicing if it's really bad. Check them out here.

This one that Vic has mentioned is probably the biggest in Cornwall carrying quite a comprehensive range of spare + accessories.

Depending on what spares you are wanting, there are two very good hardware shops in St Ives that have almost everything. Walk in and they seem to go on forever !!. One is just below the Cinema an the other just off the market place opposite the New World Chinese restaurant

Not to mention the fact that it's probably the closest of all recommended to the St Ives/Penzance area which was what the original enquiry was about.

That place is a standing joke in our house.  Several years ago we drove round and round in circles trying to find it over a period of three days.  The signposts pointed to Scorrier but we still couldn't find it.

Now, if anyone in our family gets lost, we say "You were looking for Scorrier were you?".
