We already have a large Vango tent and have been looking for a smaller tent for weekend use.
After lots of recommendations members on here we have purchased a Vago Icarus 500 with a canopy off Ebay for a very good price.
We have put the tent and canopy up but the canopy doesn't seem to fit particulary well. On the bag is say 'Large Canopy'
Is there a specific canopy for the Icarus 500 that will fit better and is the one we have a universal one?
Thanks

Hello, it doens't say Icarus anywhere on the canopy, looking at yours the 2 arches are the same height, on the one we have they are different heights.
Are you able to use the side door with a canopy on?
Thanks

Yes ours said Icarus on it and had the black stripe around the bottom to match the tent as in wiggysmiths pic above.
The Vango "large" canopy is a universal canopy and is not specifically for the Icarus we looked at buying one for our 500 but if I remember correctly it was a bit smaller and a slightly different shape than the Icarus one

Thats great, just the answer I needed. I put this one back on Ebay and purchase the specific one for it.
Thanks for your replies
