Title: Any sew on here?
Post by: rosscrazyelk on May 25, 2015, 03:29:07 PM: I bought a cabelas tent 2 years ago. Only been used a handful of times and the zipper on the rainfly broke. I contacted Cabelas only to be told that there is only a one year warranty on their name brand tents.
I cant believe it, I have never had issues with anything I have bought from them. I even asked if they sold replacement rainflys.- NOPE..
So now I am wondering if anyone here can recommend someone who sews so I can get a new zipper put on my tent?

Yep. Rainy Pass is the only place around here I would take a nylon tent for repair.
