OK, let's try and sort this out. I have written to Vango as their website is very misleading.

http://www.vango.co.uk/products/tentsInfo.aspx?productid=188&modelid=95&id=59

This extension only fits on the end, ie the bedroom end, thus making it an even longer tunnel (do we really want this?)

http://www.worldoftents.co.uk/vango-tunnel-extension-smokeblack-p-2248.html

This extension is the one that fits the front or rear door, ie the ones in the middle... but my problem is that this is only available in the blue and my Tigris is green (laurel/sage actually).

www.vango.co.uk/products/tentsInfo.aspx?productid=188&modelid=95&id=59

So this is the only one I can use at the moment, which isn't ideal but will have to do.

I want to say thank you to familyof4 for posting those pictures, Ive been so confused over which extension to buy and that Andrew watshisface from Vango is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

Ive search everywhere for pictures of a real tent with the extension shown

This page: http://www.vango.co.uk/products/tentslection.aspx?id=59 shows all the canopies for Vango, and this page:http://www.vango.co.uk/infohub/documents/vangotentadditions.pdf tells you which canopy fits which tent and where it goes.. ie side or front.

Found it very useful.

So the Tunnel Extension :

.. goes on the side, and the Extension:

... goes at the front.

well what a thread.

i too fell into the extension trap......i personally dont feel the vango website is very helpfull

i ended up buting the premium extension in smoke.........and after 40 mins of trying to erect it over the side door gave up

only then did i look on here.originally for tips....to realise its never gonna fit the side door, only the end door

wouldnt you think vango would make this perfectly clear on their website to avoid any confusion

so now gonna have to contact them and try and negotiate a swap for the tunnel extension

its a pity because i bought the tigris 800,footprint and tent rug and all three are great....this extention business just leaves a sour taste to vango.makes you think twice

except familyof four has anyone else got any joy from vango on this subject?

cheers

My post (2 above this one) shows the site to have the full information on there...

I haven't done a good job on the links I'm afaraid (not sure what I did wrong) but now I have worked it out!!

This link:http://www.vango.co.uk/products/tentslection.aspx?id=59 shows all the avilable canopies on their website.

This link:http://www.vango.co.uk/infohub/documents/vangotentadditions.pdf takes you to a Matrix that tells you which canopy fits which tent and where (end or side).

Personally found it simple and useful.

To Familyof4,

Which extension did you buy?

The Tunnel Extension or the Premium Extension?

We are interested in buying the Premium Extension, but wre wondering how it all went with your trial.

look forward to hearing about how it all went.

we originally bought the premium extension, thinking it would go on the side, but it does not, so got it exchanged for the tunnel extension, which does go on the side, and is a great addition for the tent.
