My Camp'o'matic is now 15 years old and a few things are starting to wear out.
I have been away for 6weeks and the zip on the main door flyscreen would not stay zipped at the bottom.
I did the normal squeeze the slider bit but it didn't work, so I thought that I am maybe up for a new zip at fabulous cost as the tent would have to be taken off the trailer.
As a last resort I looked on the internet and found the correct size slider. On a YKK zip the slider size in my case was stamped on the end of the slider and is 10C, c being for continuous nylon coil.
I ordered a couple from a place in the USA at $5 each and fitted one today, and the zip once again grabs and would not separate with a bit of tugging, so looks like it is OK for a while yet.
