Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has the same tent and could tell me which canopy fits it as i have been told by Outdoor Action that the sun canopy doesn't. It would seem strange to me that you would make a canopy that doesn't fit your tents? or am i just stupid. I am new to camping and had a great few days down in Verwood....the tent stood up to everything the british weather could throw at it including 30MPH + winds.

Hi , many thanks for this. I am really concerend as i have spoken to Outddoor Action and Allweather.com and both the managers stated that the large sun canopy was not a  good fit and that there isn't a canopy made by Vango for the Orchy? I have also asked outdoor megastore and the very helpful young lady there actually rang Vango on my behalf and they said they said that they where made for all their tents?

so my question to you, as you know what your talking about and know what i've got is, does you standard canopy "fit" well to your Orchy? i.e no gaps where rain can get in etc.

many thanks in advance

steve

The bigger question, Steve, is how much protection the standard canopy will give you; it is not very long and, I suspect, will give little protection.
