Hi Peeps

We have a vario 5, any one got a clue which "universal" canopy will fit well,had a look at the vango large one but not sure ...........not keen on the gelert hanky size sun shade that i could get for it lol, just fancy a bit more space as when there is a few of us camping everyone tries to squeeze in with us when its a bit drizzly

Ah - Sunncamp do an Omni Canopy, to fit tunnel tents with a front hoop - including older style Varios. Seeing as the Lokon is very much like the older Sunncamp Family Vario 5 (which I have and bought the Omni to go with it), would one of those be OK for you?

It only comes in a very pale mint green: Omni canopy

The icarus porch fits the lokon varion??? I was looking at this one as a possibility this is very good news.

How do you attach the porch to the tent? That was what made me think maybe it wouldn't fit after all as in the icarus pics it looks to be tied onto the poles but on the lokon these are hidden away inside the material.
