A friend of mine is buying a new tent and is considering the Vango Killington 600 which is available at an absolute bargain.

However, an add-on extension/porch is essential. Do you know whether the extensions/porch that are being sold now will fit a 2008 Killington 600?

Many thanks in anticipatin.

Hi. I'm sure the present ones will be the same as last year and will fit quite happily. There's the short one, a longer one and even now one with a front door.

This is a message from Vango.

The Product Manager for Vango tents recommends the Large and Extension Canopies for the Killington. Both of which fit in the same way to the Killington as they do to the Diablo tent.

Hope this helps.

Having an extension would make a huge tent huger!

I know, but I've learnt that getting in and out of a tent with SIG in the rain when the door is on a slant or vertical just gets the inside of your tent very wet.  My friend was with us on a particularly wet camp and he sympathises with my opinion.

On the bright side, the sort of campsites that we go to do not have marked out pitches.

The good news is that the side entrance, although vertical (we discovered the nastiness of a slanting door in the diablo yuck!) didn't cause the same problems depite the fact it was very rainy and wet when we went away at Easter.
