Does anyone know if this is one of those that should be taken down in bad weather? It looks like a bargain especially if it can stay up whatever the weather.

Any guesses as to whether it would fit on an outwell oregon 5?

Thanks

How does it fasten to the tent by the way?

Bought one this week fantastic price's to be found (google it)not erected it yet but just had a look at the destructions and it appears to attach by  elastic behind the front tent poles !! . There is a warning on the label to only use in good weather but it has a couple of poles ropes and pin and ring thingys so seems fairly substantial. hope this helps

Chris

seems to only fit extended porch vango's not sure of other makes

Just returned from Cornwall where we tried out our canopy for the first time. Have to say it is beyond excellent. It is suitable for all weathers gives you acres more space and is lovely to sit in if the wind is a bit chilly. Wholeheartedly recommend.

So you need to have exposed poles (not in complete sleeves top to bottom) to fix it to then?

The canopy has an elasticated end to which cords are attached, the elasticated piece fits over the last pole of your tunnel (which is inside a sleeve ) and is secured in the ground on either side. You do not require any exposed poles.

managed to get one of these free when i bought my killington 400, looks great in the pictures. tried the tent out on the 9th and 10th of this month... but our pitch wasn't large enough to pitch the canopy as well, but the mrs and i are heading off for a week camping early in September so will hopefully be able to pitch it then. :-)

i have today got  a vango idaho 600 would it fit that? i am downsizing from  a 12 berth to a 6 berth. And this seems to be perfect, as i am worried about the living space on the idaho 600 with 3 young children.

There's a list on Vango's web site of which of their own tents that it fits.
