Hi everyone!

Quite new to camping (and enjoying it!) We bought a Hi-gear voyager 6 recently which we really get on with. However we have found out that getting in and out in the rain is bad, we can't open the front door without a downpour inside!

Have found out that the Vango Orchy 600 is exactly the same.

Question is, is there a suitable canopy out there that will fit , and if so do you think it will stop the rain through the door when you need to step out?

Love and great camping vibes

Hi Janiebabes

We have an Orchy 400 and I know what you mean. However we use the "Vango Premium Extension". It looks a bit weird with gaps on the Orchy, but it is intended. It gives you a huge Porch area, so big in fact that we moved all our table, chairs and cooking stuff out there!

Hi Jane

Thanks for your reply on the other thread, Please let me know if you find a solution to our shared problem, have you googled the Vango premium, somehow i dont think it would be a good fit and Vango do say it is only suitable for their own tents fitting wise.

If there is I will join the fan club. Although we packed up early at the weekend because of the high winds, and for safety,  the Voyager stood its ground, and nothing snapped.

Plus i would like to find a porch/canopy for it.
