Can anybody please recommend a canopy or tarp (not sure if there's a difference between the two!) that I can use for both my Outwell Trout Lake and Vango Peace 500?? I would like the Trout Lake extension but don't think i have enough room in the car for it and its certainly not going to fit on the Vango Peace.   I would love a nice little outside space which will fit both tents.... If anybody has any photos of similar set ups, would be keen to see them..
thanks!

Yes, the Vango Adventure Tarp should do both. The elasticated side is guyed tight behind the front pole of the Trout and over the top of the teepee. Just buy a set of longer guyropes and tie loops in each - then just thread through the fabric guying points and back through themselves for a permanent, but quick change fit. You then can use the tent's own porch poles for sufficient height, either through the eyelets or by trapping in the tip in the tightened guyrope loops (just described) to have whatever arrangement of poles you want.

We use ours with all our tents, just changing the length of guyropes as needed.

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!
