We have a Starcamper 5 and have just ordered this in the hope it will fit.

We needed something more lightweight and not with steel poles, also its cheap - so if it doesn't fit we will sell it on.   Someone did say though they had pitched it on its own as well, so we will probably use it anyway even if it doesn't fit the tent perfectly.

I have done the same as you Christine. I brought the exact same canopy from the exact same supplier, as did my sister!  I am hoping it fits but will pitch it and use it all the same.

Hi Lisa

It might fit, the height is similar, it's just whether the sopes on the horizon match the slope on the starcamper. Worth a try, even if it's a close fit.

Good luck

Well our canopy arrived today and for the money it is excellent value. It pitches and stands quite happily on its own and has so many guy lines I am confident it would stand in winds (at least as well as a fibreglass poled tent).

Unfortunately because our 'dome' is so high it wont fit the dome on our Starcamper - however I reckon with a bit of judicious cutting I can turn it into an acceptable "tunnel" canopy which will then work perfectly.

Going to get DH to take a look tonight and then help me pitch the bigger tunnel tent which I think will have the same problem...

I think the answer is to cut it so that it is the same shape as the tunnel canopy - but it will be lighter weight which is why we chose it in the first place - that way the 'tail' can be lifted higher and go over the top of our dome or our tunnel tent.
