Good morning all.

I need a few extra velcro straps for the caravan,, but they don't seem to be available in country towns, or maybe I need a wife look to find them. LOL

Anyway, does anyone know who stocks them?

Bunnings or other hardware stores (Magnet Mart) usually have a good range. Caravan dealers (eg Jayco Canberra) also often stock them.

Electrical wholesalers often have them too.
Also on Ebay, called velcro cable ties

Gooday,
Have been using the Loop and Hook on the same strap for years, have not tried lately but wars hard to find on east coast at sensible price. Have bought it by the metre (1 inch wide), from Mortimers Hardware in Esperance on a couple of occasions at very realistic prices. All the stuff I have seen at Bunnings etc have been fixed short lengths and super expensive. Use it around leads, hoses ,and lots of stuff, just cut it to length.
Cheers,
Boroma 604.

We only use elastic velcro straps from cheap as chips or browse in.3 bucks for packet of two. We use them for everything and keep spares in my junk box in the van. Worth every cent plus some!

Many, many thanks everone.

I'm in Griffith,NSW for 6 weeks, and now I know where to look I'll see which of those stores are here.

I know Jayco is here because I found them this morning and am going to get the axle on the little caravan underslung at a cost of $220. That includes adjusting brakes and extending wiring etc where required.
