I don't seem to see many comments about this tent on these forums, just wondered if there are many other owners of them.  We bought ours a couple of months ago and have only used it once but absolutely love it, the way the bedrooms are set out, the lovely big living area and it came through a thunder storm and extremely heavy rain on our first trip so we're impressed with that too.

We managed to use our Khyam porch on the side but wondered if there are any plans for an extension other than the canopy for the front.  I'd like one of those open extensions with windows down the side I've seen on other tents.

Thoughts anyone?

We love our Corvus 6+2, only used it twice but absolutely loved the space and the third bedroom.

We have both a canopy for the next time we go, and I knwo there is a porch you can buy for it but its about another £80, maybe try one of those next year!

I hope they decide to bring out an extension for it too, the canopy is nice but I'd like something more closed in with windows maybe, or maybe I just want too much

So glad someone else has replied, was beginning to think we were alone!

We're using our old khyam porch on ours and it fits fine, but that official one does look bigger!  Might have to save up for one of those

Hi we have got a corvus 6+2 did you say that the khyam porch fitted yours nicely? Have you got any pictures of it attached to your corvus? Sorry one more question can you recommend any other porches/extensions that you believe would fit.....we are total novices to camping.

Many Thanks

Hi Mandy, yes the Khyam porch fitted fine, we actually invtested in the Corvus one a few weeks ago, and as said above it's massive, gives you lots more room, we set our whole kitchen up in there once we had put the day tent down.  Not sure if I have any photos with the khyam porch, we used it Whit week so I'll have a look.

We were going to sell our Khyam porch until some scroat nicked it out of my mam's garage along with all my hubby's fishing gear!!

Thats such a shame an extension would have been good! I was looking for the gelert model porch but they are sold out every where. Are these porches pretty universal? My husbands friend has said that the royal hampton 4 porch should fit on it.....but im totally clueless.

Gutted about the break in at your mums garage....some people have no shame!!!

All the porches seem pretty universal, I'm hoping that there might be an extension that will fit on the Corvus.
