Product Information

Full details

The Kampa Dometic Shock Cord Replacement Kit is an essential maintenance tool for campers and outdoor enthusiasts who need to restore tension and stability to fiberglass tent or awning poles. Providing 13.7 metres of high-quality, durable elastic cord and a dedicated threading tool, it simplifies the repair process for aging pole systems. While it is highly effective for standard pole maintenance, users should note that the kit requires a manual re-threading process that demands patience and steady hands for the best results.

FAQs

Is this kit compatible with metal poles?

This kit is specifically designed for fiberglass poles; it may be used on some metal poles if the interior diameter allows for the cord and threading tool, but it is optimized for Kampa fiberglass systems.

Do I need any additional tools?

The kit includes a threading tool, but you will need a pair of scissors to cut the cord to the required length and possibly pliers to help grip the tool.

How do I know what tension is correct?

The poles should be held together firmly when folded, but you should still be able to easily pull them apart to fold the sections.

Can I use this for non-Kampa tents?

Yes, as long as the internal diameter of your tent poles allows for the cord to pass through, it is a universal solution.

How long should I cut the cord?

Always measure your old cord length before discarding it and add 5-10cm for knotting, or measure the length of your fully extended pole and cut accordingly.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty threading the cord through a pole segment

Ensure the threading tool is fully inserted through all segments before attaching the cord; if it catches, rotate the pole gently to find a clearer path.

Cord is too loose after installation

Retie the knots at the ends of the poles to increase tension, ensuring the cord is taut enough to hold segments together when folded.

Cord is too tight, making poles difficult to fold

Loosen the tension by adjusting the knot at the pole end to allow for more slack when the pole is collapsed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous 13.7-metre length covers multiple repairs
  • Threading tool included significantly simplifies installation
  • Maintains structural integrity of tent pole sets
  • Cost-effective alternative to purchasing replacement poles

Cons

  • Requires manual effort and time to re-thread poles
  • Threading tool may be delicate if forced
  • No pole segments or ferrules included

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure you have a clear, flat surface for laying out your poles. Always remove the old cord completely before threading the new one to avoid tangles. The kit is compatible with most standard fiberglass poles found in Kampa Dometic awnings and tents. After installation, ensure you tie off the cord securely at both ends, accounting for enough tension so the pole segments stay firmly coupled but not so tight that they pull the pole out of shape. For care, store your poles in a dry environment and avoid over-stretching the cord when collapsing the tent to extend the life of the elastic properties.
