Hi, does anyone have any info on the Vango Icarus? We have been given a Vango large canopy, do you know if this would fit? Thanks for any information.

Firstly welcome to the site but beware - it can become addictive.

Looking at a picture of the Icarus and assuming the canopy is the standard one I doubt if it would fit. The standard sun canopies, both the large and the small, are designed to fit the type of tent such as the Diablo which has a fairly narrow entranceway rather that the full width one on the Icarus - but then I've only seen a picture on the net. Just remember though that the tent is more important than the sun canopy so if the Icarus suits you then you could always sell the canopy either on this site or elsewhere. If you get the Icarus, beware of getting it in too much sun. You know what can happen!!!

Hi Piperdog , the tent will be fine, no chance of us getting too much sun in the uk .
(Icarus was an ancient greek legend who wanted to fly , made himself a pair of wings and flew so close to the sun that the wings melted )
