BIL tried it last long weekend and it works, maybe not as bright as the photo above

I have  the small plastic pices that slide over your rope and sit on top of your pegs, they work well

I have brought glow in the dark ropes, not sure if they are the same as yours but in the end plain white ropes were just as good on a dark moonless night.

Another option is to grab some packs of glow sticks from the $2 shop. That way you use the existing ropes and throw the glow sticks on moonless nights. Woolworths/Coles also sometimes sell them in their partee section.

Big W usually do a tube of 100? of these for around $8.00

Yep we use glow sticks also around the collar on the dog so we can keep an eye on tree around the camp

That rope is a great idea. Might tie it around the kids to keep an eye on them in the dark.

Quicker than putting these together... ;D

I use the glow in the dark rope (bought of Ebay) it works pretty well after a full days sun, not a bright as the picture, but still visable

Might have to invest in some, our camo camper is kitted out with khaki ropes, hard enough to see in the daytime, let alone after dark.

Masters have the same rope.  Saw it in the same area as their auto section with tow balls etc

Pretty much..
I have a Southern Cross Ultimate Trekker Tent and awning I'm selling, that's about 12 ropes - so my old ropes will go with that
I have a BlackWolf Tent that needs new ropes, and while at it I'll make some double sprung ropes for the annexe on the trailer.

While the rope looks like a good idea, I think I will keep using my cheap glow sticks sticky tapped to the ropes.

I use the glow sticks and put them in the springy guy rope tensioner thingos. Nothing seems to stop you necking youself when you have your wobbily boots on but.

You can get glow in the dark sleeves to go over your ropes and they sit down on your pegs. They are about 75mm long and are ok for what they are.  ;)

So long as you have tried your best, you should have no regrets.

Oh!the joy of owning a Cameron Concept camper.
No guy ropes. ;D ;D
