Has any one bought a sun canopy for the Vango Kura 600 and if so was it worth it and where did you buy it from.

Hello and welcome to the forum.  First post!!

I assume that the sun canopy is like this without the front door?  I used one on an Orchy and they are very useful because, as you may have found with the Kura, it can be difficult getting in and out of the tent in the rain. 

Outdoor world was where we got the canopy (last year) but they don't seem to sell them any more, which makes me wonder whether Vango have stopped making them and replaced them with the extension.  However, the extension (with that door) is much better, in my humble opinion.

Well they can't have stopped making them as Vango still has them on their website.

Thanks for the info, very helpful to know i am not wasting my money buying a canopy that would not fit/suit.  Did look on the vango website but must have missed this.

Somerset camping have the door less style for £38 against outdoor with a door for £69 so will have to decide, but thanks again.  Very new to this but love camping introducting by 2 boys to the outdoors was a real treat.

Hi

I have a large sun canopy (open front) which fits very nicely on my Kura 600 despite being told by Vango that it wasn't compatible. One word of warning. Tried pitching with a side on, strong breeze and the canopy kept detaching from the tent. So my advice is use this only on sheltered pitches. It's invaluable in the rain in calm conditions though
