We're looking for the extension to go with our fantastic Utah 6. As it's been discontinued I'm having trouble finding stockists  - does anyone have any suggestions???

Hi bev701,

I have the same problem too. I have the Utah 8 and have been looking for the extension for a while now but with no luck.

I have found this which looking at the dimensions I think would fit ok??

Does anyone know whether it would fit?

Hi Bev,

would this do? http://www.outdooraction.co.uk/acatalog/OUTWELL_UTAH_FRONT_EXTENSION__2008_.html

I have the Utah and had the same problem, finding an extension for mine. Yeomans came up trumps for me. If you called them they may still have one in 'the back room' somewhere?

Good luck.

Hi everyone,

Though we are fortunate enough to have an extension, I have been investigating cover options for the other door, but in this process can suggest that several of the Vango options look like they would probably fit the porch in lieu of the official extension given dimensions:

Vango Large Canopy - the overlap would block the windows of the Utah's porch, but is high enough and more than wide enough

Vango Wide Canopy - can't find any dimensions anywhere but it's clearly wider than the other one!

Vango Tunnel Extension - similar dimensions to the large canopy, but this one has an additional door if that would be helpful.

I think all of the above are wider than the official extension, so do not know if there would be issues with draughts at the side, but there are several exposed poles by the existing porch so attaching shouldn't be a problem?

PS - I think the Sun Valley would fit, but doesn't offer the same length as either the proper extension or the Vango options. Other canopies may also fit but you would need to watch out for ones that don't accommodate the sloped porch - such as the Vango Tunnel Canopy, which would give a big gap at the side for draughts and rain to get in, and is only suitable for smaller dome tents.

Unfortunately all the extensions at Outdoor World are gone now. We'd really like one that matches the tent, but are bearing in mind the other suggestions that people have made. Thank you for those.

Does anyone else have any ideas??

I got one on ebay a few months ago. Use the "saved searches" facility, I've had a few emails recently telling me that extensions have come on. I ended up paying a fair bit for mine, but I can't remember what, just that it was a lot. Oh well, got it now, and can't wait to use it :)
