The vango diablo has a similar size porch so a vango large canopy may fit it.

I may be wrong but I think the khyam sun porch is one thats to go on the side of a tunnel tent rather than a porch canopy?

How does the vango large canopy attach to the tent itself?

Are there specific fixing points on the tent or does it just attach with the use of guylines,is it adjustable  ie would it fit any tent of the same sort of size?

Hi barmy khyam do 2 canopies that should fit the michigan, both out of stock just about everywhere, as are most sun canopies this time of year . Probably be new stock around  about March.

There are lots of similar canopies that should fit,if you don't mind it not being exact colour match.  gelert, outwell and vango do them with the steel frames, just check the measurements are compatible, height wise.

You sometimes see them on ebay cheaper than in  the shops too.
