Does anyone have that they are looking to sell or know where I can get an Idaho XL front extension from, I am really struggling to find one, many thanks in advance.

I am also struggling to find a front extension for our outwell idaho xl

I think the Michigan looks like a good short stay tent depending on the size of your family, if it's just you and a partner I think you could stay in quite happily for quite a long time. The reason I say short stay as if you have a family and its wet, I think it could get cramped - which is exactly where I was a few weeks ago in a very wet Wales and hence now trying to find an extension for the Idaho!!!

Happy camping.

That was a good bargain!!  The Vermont is also another great tent, but as an owner of an Idaho XL - think it may have been too big for the pair of you.  We love ours and it has even housed two families, but have bought a Vango Icarus 600 for weekend trips as it is too much to put up for a short trip (doesnt help that I take the whole house when we use it as it's massive!!).  We are lucky enough to have got the tent for £200, 12mths old off friends, and then managed to get the footprint and extension brand new for £110 from Discover.  I have also bought the carpet and kids room too!!

For those wanting the extension - keep looking as it really is a valuable extra.

Hello everyone,

No luck yet, still looking, they do seem to be rarer than rocking horse poo!!! I did see an Outwell with a Vango wrap over extension, but it left gaps at the side which seems kinda pointless to me!
