I am looking for an extension that will fit my Easy Camp Boston 600.  I love the tent but having been away in it 4 times so far this year and had a good nose at other tents around I wish I had a full awning.  So I have begun a hunt for an extension/awning (call it what you will) that will fit my tent but so far most are not wide enough.  And before you say it, yes I know there is a canopy available for this tent but I don't think it looks like much use as rain very rarely falls straight down!!  It needs to fit width 360cm and be 210cm high (have found a lot that are the right height but the width is causing me a prob).  Hope someone can help.

Hi, I'm doing exactly the same at the moment. Love the tent too but would like a little more space (especially on rainy days!). The only thing I could think of was to put on a side extension, the closest thing I think that will fit would be a Vango Tent Extension. What do you think? It's tall enough (220cm) and will cover the side entrance to the tent as opposed to the front - still 2 entrances to the tent.

Hiya, thanks for your post.  I have looked at the side extension and definitely think its a possibility but would much prefer a front one!  So think we will hang fire and hope that Easy Camp will bring something out over the winter?!?

Vango have a range of canopies and you can download the 'tent additions' matrix here....

http://www.vango.co.uk/downloads.html

I think the Vango Icarus 600 canopy, which is 390cm wide, might be one to look at.

Alternatively get the Vango Adventure Tarp which has an elasticated portion along one edge to get a good fit behind the front hoop of any tunnel tent.

Or the Outwell sliding canopy?

Here's a selection of canopies you might find one to suit.
