Apologies for starting a new topic but its been getting lost trying to pick it up within other threads.
Ideally would like a sun canopy for my newly acquired Coleman Evolva.
I'm not sure if the Coleman canopy in Argos will fit due to the 'long end on' design of the main tent area of the Evolva. Alternatively looking at other brand sun canopies, in particualr Vango.There is an eBay seller who has a range of Vango canopies who has answered my query staing it will fit the Evolva.
I'm not sure if htis is the case or whether they are just trying to flog their stock although they do genuinely seem to fit other manufactureres tents?

Looking at pictures of the tent, I would think the Vango canopy would fit. Maybe not perfect. We used one on our Coleman celsius and it did the job.
Thanks for this. Any Vango canopy in particular? The eBay seller has a variety of sizes and colours.
Don't no weather you have now got a canopy for yor tent but we have a coleman matrix 9 which is simlar to your's, we got a vango canopy that fits great on it and was purchase from ebay for £20 brand new.this was a smal canopy but am now going to purchase a larger one so we can cook in it.

As I still haven't been able to find some posts from last year that had some great photos of Evolva's with front canopies (I think Johhnyboybiscuit was one of the posters)can someone tel me if thisis the Vango canopy that will fit the front entrance of our Evolvas?
I believe there was a single pole Aztec canopy that some members also thought might fit.
We have a Coleman modulusx4 and have tried our outwell universal side canopy with it but wonder if should get one of these...wonder if it would fit, it claims to fit one of our other tents, a vango tamor...hmmm might have to show hubby that.

So now its a question of the Aztec as per Johnnyboybiscuits photos or the Vango. The Aztec is definitely a fit but the Vango, apart from fitting the Link Annexe (as per Numbersix photos in the LA review section)is unproven as a firt for the main tent.
When I was away at the weekend, saw 2 Evolva's camped together. It was almost a spiritual experience!
Anyway, one had the large Black and Mercury Vango canopy at the front entrance and it looked the real business. A great fit and fab colour contrast to the grey and black of the Evolva. Also provided a very generous entrance way to the main tent.
That's great as I have a black & grey Vango large canopy I bought last year to fit the Nevada 3 - the colours will be a great match for the Evolva as you say!
