Does anybody know where I can get hold of a porch (not the open sided canopy) for my Khyam faro 5? I believe the Wynnster faro 5 porch is also compatible but as they have both been discontinued I am struggling to get hold of one! Any ideas?
Thank you

I guess if you ring Khyam they will just tell you that there is nothing available, so, have you tried phoning the other outlets that use to sell Khyam, such as Penrose Outdoors and Somerset Camping? They also sell other brands so may be able to suggest an alternative.

Thanks for the ideas Jayne, unfortunately the hunt goes on!!
I am now considering buying a separate gazebo for cooking/undercover seating but wondering if I will be restricted if some campsites don't allow gazebos in peak season?!
Alternatively a 'universal' porch that is compatible with my tent? I am yet to find one though!

These are great for cooking in, the most I have been charged for mine was £1 a night often it has been no extra charge as it fits on the pitch with our tent

Hi!
If they aren't using it and would be willing to sell that would be great!
Somerset camping are out of stock now and they pretty much said that
I wouldn't be able to find a new one anywhere!
Thank you

Well!
Thanks for all your advice guys but the hunt is now over!! No, I haven't found a porch for my faro 5 but an offer came up that we couldn't refuse on a 1980 Conway campa trailer tent!!! We will be keeping the faro 5 for short stops/small campsites/festivals etc but should no longer need a porch extension for these trips.
Our main holidays will now be under proper 1980's canvas!!!
Wish us luck!!!!
