Hi again.....

Just a quick question. After reading a thread regarding the montana front canopy fitting on my SV8, I was wondering if the full side canopy would fit on the front instead? (Bit more side protection)

Has anyone tried this.........I am eager to find out

Roll on Newquay August.......please dont rain again!

I have tried it and it works pretty well. You do get a few small gaps for the rain to fall through on the sides, but, if erected ptoperly, this is a very minor issue.

I'd simply advise buying 2 extra long guy ropes for the rear of the canopy. These are not essential, but make the positioning of the 2 rear guy ropes better.

By the way. There is a thread on here where someone has picture of the SV8 and Side Conopy (Put on the front of the SV8).

You'd need to do a search for the thread. I checked it out before buying one. They are great during rainy days as it allows you to keep the porch fully open.
