Tent pole covers
« on: February 23, 2017, 01:27:44 PM »
I have noticed on  my new camper that the canvas has been getting pinched between the poles on pack up from the previous owner. Has anyone any ideas or a source for some covers to help minimize any pinching. I do try to pull all the canvas out so its not sitting between the bows but would still like some further protection.

What make and model of trailer

Is it the uprights or the cross bows causing the issue?

Have you got a link that shows the covers?

On my old Tambo it had a piece of thick rubber attached to one of the bolts of the bottom bows which would keep the canvas out of the pinch area when folding up. It was around 200mm wide and a little taller than the bows when all folded up, was around 8mm thick and when the trailer was set up never got in the way

I honestly don't believe those sleeves would do anything to save your canvas pinching.. ???

The covers won't stop pinching, a piece of protection such as GG has used, or better pack up are what will fix it.
