When you fit the vestibule there is not enough room inside for the guys to hold the front of the canopy taut, one solution is to use a pole/poles from the canopy to the second tent pole another is to use extra guys attached to canopy pole on the ouside with pole clips. No extra width is gained only a bit of extra length

Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

Hi
From memory you gain around 90cm although never measured it at the floor but then loose some due to the sloping front only used our vestibule once as prefer the open front. The 6 is plenty big enough for 4 people only real benefit of the 8 is if you need an extra bedroom.

Hi there only just seen this resurrected thread.

There is plenty of room in the vestibule / porch. We had the kitchen, beer crate, fridge, 2 chairs plus the large PoppyDog in ours.

Yes, the car is bigger than the 'van.

We ended up taking our vestibule back as we just couldn't get it to stay on properly, every time there was slightest breeze the top flipped over
