Does anyone have this combo? I'm trying to decide whether to get the Icarus 500 canopy to go with our tent or to get the tunnel canopy and try and fit it on the side door (have seen this done I think??) The plus of the tunnel canopy is that it is steel poled and I thought might be sturdier in winds(!) Or should I just plump for the Icarus canopy? Decisions decisions!

ive ordered the vango large canopy at £20 off ebay its a lot cheaper than the proper one, and had to save a little somewhere, seen it on the pictures in the reviews and seems to fit just fine. Tho i have yet to do this in anger myself, buit looking at the pitching videos on youtube hereit looks like it fits fine it just it may not match that well, i plumped for the black one.
