Just wondering if anyone can suggest an extension or canopy that will fit our Colorado 5? Looking for that little bit of extra space to take off wet shoes etc and possibly cook in or under.
I've seen some people use tarps. Are they good? What would you recommend?

Thanks, Mrs Fish

As a matter of interest is the colour Blue or Mocca? You could have a look at something from Gelert. Or if you just want an overhead cover you could adapt a Montana/Minisota sun canopy as the come up on Ebay every so often

We could not get an extension for our Yukon River 6 so have purchased a quecha tarp, which is a godsend for cooking under in the wonderful british weather!,

hopefully picture is below:

It's actually orange!

Thanks for the idea and pic Helen. That could work with a decent windbreak :)
