Does any one know if this site is actually still active? My troop has several Unipen Tents and a few need replacement parts. I have contacted TentsOnSale.com as they claim to be the manufacturer of the tents. I have yet to get a response. I have not tried the phone number yet. I was wondering if anyone else has dealt with this company. When I search the net several troops have recommended them.

Depending on what you need as replacement parts you might be able to get them from other manufacturers.

Iknow a few places to find poles for any tent and/or repair kits.

One thing I did find out is if the cost is to much or the tents over 5 yrs it might be time to replace them. I found Alps Mountaineering to be a great company who will service scouts with discounts. There service has been tremendous. they have a Scout direct page on line as well as the main page to browse the online catalog.

hope this helps.

I heard from the Customer Service Rep from TentsOnSale.com. The good nesw: The company is still in business. The Bad news: The repalcement parts are on perminant backorder. Looks like we may be buying some new tents this fall.
