Hi there Bearlakers,

We have the Bear Lake 4 and are currently considering adding the bear lake side extension.  Do any of you have this and do you consider it a worthwhile addition.  Do you use it for cooking in?

Any thoughts welcome as we are trying to weigh up if this would be useful and what we would use it for.

many thanks.

We indulged and got one for our BL4, we have only used it once (so far) but instantly felt justyfied in the purchase. Idealy of course, we all want a front awning.

In answer to your question, Yes its a worthwhile addition.

I saw one for £180 the other day, if I remember which site it was I will let you know.

We have the Bear Lake side extension on ours. Managed to pick one up last year in the end of season sales.

We have used it several times now for the kitchen/cooking area, a must have in my opinion, as it keeps all the mess outside the tent but still undercover and attached!

We thought about getting one of these for our BL6 but the only thing that put us off was that the BL one is not all that wide. However, the WL canopy is a lot wider and should fit the BL's. Woofers worked her magic with her pc skills and did a mock up and it looks great and should work well but we never got around to trying it but if you find a helpful store, Gary at cross camping, hint hint, may be able to tell you if this will work.
