The reproduction poles I have seen have a different type of screw thread. So for the ones where you are missing 1/2 a pole you will need to get the whole pole.

Yep, not interchangeable.
There were some broken sets up for sale recently, you. Might get lucky and combine yours with a broken set to make a whole.
Looks like you also need a tent? BBT only sells the awning with their poles.
I used a bay window tent for a few years until I scored my original one. If you have kids the bay tents are far superior because the original ones are not good for sleeping in.

Yes, I would love to use it. Also, any pics of what that piece should look like? The screws are still there but obviously to wood piece attached. Thanks

Evan (Easy E) has a partial set of poles for sale right now. It might be worth it to see if he would be willing to sell you the poles your missing or even just buy his set and then sell the remaining.

You're missing the bathroom poles as well and those rarely come up for sale. You can make/buy very similar ones. Have Tony ping me on IG and I can send him a link.

CIP1 are the US BBT distributors. They’re selling just the frames or tents now. But the “just the poles” aren’t available till later this summer. “C21-6500” and “C21-6551”. Apparently free shipping. $300 +\- for poles isn’t bad

CIP1 has free shipping. Which is a big deal on a heavy item like poles. Plus being in CanNada no tax!

I imagine it’s aboot 75 loonies at cost for them to be shipping that. I’m not complaining. Same product, so may as well get the shipping free aye.

they don't have most of the BBT stuff listed, but if you email or call Eddy and ask, he'll get back to you quick. Maybe he's not a distributor now though...

started removing the rattle can paint from the rear corner and vents. A lot of OG paint still under there. It will need some blends also.

My wife found the prop when cleaning out the bus. It was found up on top of the cabinet that hold the ice box. Glad it was found.

Forget about the prop rod, his WIFE was not only in the bus, she was cleaning the bus AND kept the prop rod (instead of just throwing it out as junk). She’s a keeper for sure...the bus is too.

I dunno, it's easier to find a new wife than a original prop rod.

The poles are back in stock so I would buy a set to use until you find your missing OG poles.
