I've been considering the same - does anyone know whether one of these fit a Sunncamp Family Vario 400? The Sunncamp canopy comes off the front, but think I'd prefer one that comes off the middle

Can I ask how the Coleman Classic/Exponent Awning attaches to the (backside) tent?

I have a coleman bispace and an Aztec Palacio and I'm wondering if they will fit?

Update.................

The Coleman Classic does go over the Vermont XL. We tried it out this weekend - the only problem is we bought the awning before the tent and it's blue and the tent is green and they don't match!

It was certainly a useful item to have as it meant that we could keep the side door open without getting wet.

got an outwell universal side canopy for our gelert alaska 8 and quite pleased with it.a bit of a gap where the tent tapers down but not a problem.certainly keeps the rain off when you open the tent to go out.
