Has anybody tried the large Vango canopy to a tunnel tent?

I'm trying to work out whether / how it would fit on my Eurohike Buckingham which has 4 side doors (two each side) but no end door.

It looks as though it might fit (it looks high and wide enough anyway) but I'd be grateful if someone could let me know how high the curved part that fits onto the tent is please.  That would let me know whether it could be fitted around two of the side doors.

Many thanks.

Not really sure if its classed as a gazebo but the Outwell Oklahoma Day Tent looks pretty impressive.

Family next to us used one of these on our last holiday and had plenty of room for their cooker plus table and chairs.

Overall impressions were it looked very sturdy when pegged down, and it withstood some pretty heavy wind and rain whilst we were there.

For under 100.00 its worth considering if you have a large family requiring space.

we are going to put our utility tent opposite the tent door  ( hartford xl , )               and put both canopies up in the middle so they join up using just the 2 canopy poles,    if you get my drift!

that way we get a nice long canopy  and can take them both down at beddybyes time to secure both tents up for the night.

We have used our canopy that goes with our Montana 6 and  the windbreak for the first time this week. Its the first trip longer than a weekend and we wanted some cover for extending the living area as such. I must say bothe the canaopy and windbreak stood up to a really heavy storm one night.

There were several gazebos around the sight that didnt all look secure, after what I've read on this site I don't like being next to one incase it takes flight!

Good luck with your search.
