Well after searching and going to local camp shop about a canopy/ extension for our cleveland 6 it does not look like there is one. So im after a tent to cook in and to store the kitchen and stuff. i dont want anything massive, just a basic bit of shield from wind and cover from our wet summers. any ideas?

I was thinking of a beach tent/shelter just have to have the cooker low level.

would you use this?

We use a Cabanon PN20 it makes for a very good kitchen tent, being Cotton canvas with Laminated roof and Steel poles makes for a very sturdy unit.

Photo in my gallery.

The PN20 is quite hard to find these days, although they often pop up on Ebay.

Obelink do some nice Kitchen Tents but not Cotton, although they are larger in size.

With a toilet tent will that have adequate ventilation or cooking in with out it burning down?

I suppose that depends on which you get.  The Khyam I suggested above has lots of vents.  I find it ideal for the purpose. 

I have a 'changing tent' from Argos which stood up well in Cornwall last summer (flash floods!), it was on sale at half price so would have been rude not to  This is now my weekend kitchen and I have a eurohike quick pitch family tent for longer stays.

Not been charged for either of these yet but I try to avoid sites which charge extras as having 3 children can more than double the pitch fee on these type of sites.

Well just looked in go outdoors mag, and there hi gear toilet tent is £40. But I've been looking at pics of tarps and they look pretty cool, although I don't know if I would be able to get it right. Can you attach to front or side of tent to make a canopy?
