Can you not straighten via a hammer and vice?

If they are the ones I think they are, they are telescopic so any slight bend, kink or dent will stop them working.
We have a very old Royal Traveller in our shed with the exact same problem, although ours is an original 70s version.
Technically, it belongs to my F-I-L so I would need to check before offering to swap, but assuming the poles haven't changed (much?) it might be doo-able (that ones for Scooby!) and even better, you're just up the road!
Let me check and get back to you, I've been meaning to clear the shed for ages anyway.

Thanks Tallulah, will wait with all our fingers crossed
Hi Scooby, we are looking to bend the bars, back into shape, but feel that we need a plan " b ", as we hire the awning out with Enzo, it would be to have spares.

Hi Kevin , I've got a Royal Traveller 4 Tunnel Awning , I'm not sure if we have any spare poles that might be usable by you. The next time i put it up if there's any going spare I will certainly let you know. Kind regards Steve

Hope the 'spare pole option' works out If not, guess you may need to consider another awning!

True and I think you are right, it would make seance to have a complete spare awning, especially for back to back hires, do hire yours out?

No we do not hire ours out - we keep Scooby all to ourselves On the awning front many on here have a Kyham Motordome We have the Sleeper version - Very happy with it. It sleeps up to 4 adults - may be an extra alternative for you to consider? Go to the bottom of the page in this this link for some pics of our awning: Kyham Sleeper

Thank you, the kyham does look good, though I could supply a camper van tent with the hire, at least they would remember where they have parked lol!
