We had this tent and porch. Yes I'm afraid it cuts right across the window so when you look out you see half inside the extension and half outside the tent. It is also noticeably darker as the extension covers the paler roof fabric panel which is designed to let in light.

I would also add that in windy conditions it should be taken down as it adds considerable stresses to the already flimsy fibre-glass poles on the main tent and means they are far more prone to snapping.

Hope this helps.

Here's a pic to illustrate...

and to show you how it covers/darkens the roof panel...

And because I like to be thorough, here's it from the outside (it's the porch but we had the canopy before and it was pretty much the same).

Well back in April a gale hit our Horizon and porch (now sold), as you look at my 3rd pic the wind was hitting the tent and canopy right into the corner of both, by morning the canopy had collapsed with a twisted and bent METAL pole and both back fixing straps had been snapped in two.

In addition, as the porch acted like a sail pushing against the tent, the back left bedroom pole snapped at the base as did the left hand pole next to the front door. The result was the back of tent collapsed and the whole thing became very unstable. We spent the night in the car and the only reason the whole thing didn't blow away was the DELTA pegs we used.

We repaired it, flogged it and bought a stronger tent.

Good luck.
