Foxwing awning cover ripped: sourcing a replacement.

After leaning against a tree I ripped the Foxwing awning cover. Now I'm looking for a replacement, but I have a few questions.

1. Where to find? I did mail the company a week+ ago, but got no answer (yet), so anyone here who can source it?
2. Price?
3. How to fit? Is it difficult?

Was thinking of mending it, but I think it has to come off as well, so a replacement may be cheaper and keeps the original look "as if nothing happened".

We carry a range of spares for the Foxwing and that includes the cover. Am not sure if we have one in stock at the moment.

However we are restocking at the end of this month.

How difficulty is it to fit?
What is the ball park pricing on it?

I will try to source it locally first but it seems to be a bit more difficult then expected.

Very easy to fit.

To remove there is an elasticated 'end cap' which you need to pull over end of back plate. Then pull it off the other end.

It is a 'caravan' awning type fitting with a piece of cord sewn into the fabric which slides down a channel in the back plate.

Hope that makes sense.

Not sure of stockists in Belgium, you could try Elephant 4x4 in Belgium. Keeping within the Euro zone try Nakatanenga or Taubenreuther in Germany.

Price in euros? At a guess about 60-70 euros plus carriage. Can be slight difficulties with exchange rates and different VAT rates etc. In UK £46 including UK VAT

Hope that helps, if you have any questions ask away.
