Can't agree with you more - our extension is exactly what we expected to be and we get out of it exactly what we wanted to.

We have spent many a rainy day under the extension cooking, eating our evening meal, doing crosswords etc.

Really pleased with it and I'm sure if anybody decided to purchase this would be really happy with it.

Don't know if I am missing  anythign, but whats the point of the canopy?? - wouldn't offer much protection from the elements..

Anyway , I have posted a pics on profile  if anyone fancies a look -

cheerrrrsss!!

Wenip

think i got it....!(I'm a bit slow today... )

It's a  Sun shelter!

humph ,

Ii would love one, but they had not invented it when we bought our sun canopy

we do have the side canopy too but never used it yet

I am thinking of getting the extension to go onto my Coleman Cedar Creek tent as the size of the minnesota 4 are very similar ( only a few cm's difference ) could anybody tell me how it attaches to the tent so that I can try to work out if I could somehow attach it to mine  does it have a bit that goes over the top of the tent ? or is it free standing with guy ropes ?

Thanks xoopsx

It goes over the tent and attaches to the middle lot of poles, it can't stand on it's own.

I couldn't go camping without mine now!!, great to cook and sit in, come sunshine or rain!!.

Thanks Kirsty

hmmmm well might be a problem then as the centre pole on my tent is on the inside  

I was thinking that I might be able to attach it to the poles at the front sides of my tent with velcro and put longer ropes on the bit that goes over the top so that I could attach it to the back poles of my tent. This is a link to a pic of my tent to give an idea of what I was thinking - would appreciate any advice

Well i'm jealous!

We do want extention but can't afford it after buying the Monty, carpet, footprint and kids room!

Will have to wait until next year Or maybe until the end of seaon sales!

Can't wait to get one though, Wenpip it looks great on your pic and a real bonus in bad weather.

kelly, well i'm jealous that you have the carpet and the kids room!

My kids are nagging me for one and I keep trying to bid on ebay but always lose out at the last min! I will also need to wait for sales

Hi folks

We have just brought a Monty 6 with the canopy extension and are due to go off a week tomorrow for our first ever camping trip.  We brought the extension canopy with it for all the reasons you have posted.  We liked the idea that we could use it as a sun shade, gave us extra room, and could sit in it when it was raining and because of the size it would keep the rain from coming into the main part of the tent.

Although we haven't tried it yet we are sure it will be brilliant and thankfully all your posts here make us feel that we have made a good choice.

Happy camping everyone and watch out for us a week Friday 4 July - Norfolk here we come !!!!!!

Hi we just stayed at a c&cc site with a montana  6 and extension with no problems,they seem to be more concerned with the width of the tent.p.s we loved the club site and cant wait to go back.
