Hi Barky,

Vango claim that their canopy's are universal. We have a large canopy on our Vango Orchy 600 but it was originally on our Litchfield Arapaho 600DLX and has fit them both. The porch on your tent doesn't seem dissimilar to the Vango porches.  Maybe they will fit your tent also.

Generally canopies are open and extensions zip up. We have the canopy and leave the kitchen and table and chairs in it all the time, as do many others. Campsites are, in my experience, inhabited by honest people. We take the cadac in but that's all.

The Cosenza is 260 wide at the front opening and 210 high I think:

525

How about the Outwell sliding canopy?

http://www.outwell.dk/TentMeasure.aspx?b=Outwell&bid=2&lid=1&l=en-GB&catID=464&TentId=962&pid=1

Its 270 wide and 230 high so could sit just above the cosenza
