Good Day One and All
Our 'K' reg Hymer has started to suffer from brittle curtain hooks and runners and juggling gaps is no longer disguising the saggy bits Sad Does anyone know a source to purchase these, please ??
Thanks in anticipation

Mike

I bought a couple of packets of these small runners & hooks in our local caravan accessories shop, they seem to be readily available.

How about the curtain department in a department store. The runners look fairly standard to me.

I used a safety pin to replace one broken hook. Couldn't find anything similar in my local JRR caravanning shop.

I assumed that they were not run of the mill fittings as the good lady who asked me to post this and knows about such things would have known where to look.
I will have a look in Towsure as advised by Vicdicdoc
Thanks all

Mike

I stand corrected . . . the little plastic container of the runners & hooks is marked WOOLWORTHS . . so I guess that's where I must have bought them

our Hymer B524 T reg.had aluminium runners with some curtain hooks I'd never seen before nor had any of our local shops or motorhome/caravan accessory shops.
ended up went to C& H Fabrics in Brighton brought a curtain rail and hooks called a furni-glide made by swish fitted our van a treat and know I can get replacement

Being a strong believer in Murphy's Law the idea of something used by Hymer being readily available just didn't ring true !! It sounds like I may have something similar to theorch, but it is definitely worth a trip to Woolworths (Thanks for the update vicdicdoc) before attempting major replacement -it's not that bad, yet Shocked
