The dimensions for the end of this tent are 310 wide by 195 high. If you google the dimensions for the Vango Premium Extension and also the Vango sun canopy for both the Icarus 500 and the Icarus 600 you might be able to get a fit. I think the tunnel extension is for using on the side. It's still useful even if on the side.

Hi Victoria 1

Did you have any luck finding an extension to fit the vango vista 800? We bought this tent too but it appears to an old model as we're having trouble finding anything for it. Still, we been very happy with it so far...but would be nice to add a little extra room.

Hi all,

I've searched the forums but I'm still unsure which canopy/extension will fit a Vango Vista 800 tent.

Will this fit?

And will that only fit on the side door? Friends of mine only uses the one side for their bedrooms and the rest is open..therefore they don't really use the side doors but the door at the end. Eeek not sure if I'm explaining this very well...

I too had the Vista 800, in the link you have posted do not take any notice of the measurements as they are wrong.  The measurements on that page are infact for the Premium Extension and not the Tunnel Extension.

I purchased the Premium Extension as we only used the 2 rear pods and if you check out my gallery you will see how we fitted it.  It was quite a good fit, had no problem with rain getting in at all and it added great cooking area to the tent.

The Tunnel Extension in my opinion will only be usable on the side.  However if you look at the new 2011 side extension, it has big windows in it and is slightly bigger and has a ground sheet so would be a better purchase.

Hope that helps a little.
